莱克伍德墓地花园陵墓景观
Lakewood Cemetery Garden Mausoleum Landscape
Halvorson设计合作伙伴关系：在20世纪90年代末开始的总体规划过程中，莱克伍德公墓的受托人要求Halvorson设计合作伙伴关系承担在历史园林景观中整合大型新陵墓的挑战。其结果是，2012年完工，是一个高度整合的景观和建筑，具有零边缘反射池、可接近的绿色屋顶、原生树木树林和室外纪念空间。
Halvorson Design Partnership: During the master planning process, which began in the late 1990s, the Trustees of Lakewood Cemetery asked Halvorson Design Partnership to take on the challenge of integrating a large new mausoleum in the historic garden landscape. The result, completed in 2012, is a highly integrated landscape and building featuring a zero-edge reflecting pool, accessible green roof, groves of native trees, and outdoor commemorative spaces.
A new mausoleum and reception center is nestled into the existing slopes of the space. From the street, the building mass largely fades from view with only a 5,500-square-foot granite pavilion visible among the preserved specimen oak trees. (Lakewood Cemetery)

A large central lawn anchors the space and accommodates Memorial Day events for upwards of 350 people. Comfortable, contemplative spaces have been designed around the perimeter for more intimate gatherings.

The new reflecting fountain is a zero- edge pool with a 1” deep “scrim” of water over a layer of pavers on pedestal mounts. When drained in the winter, it becomes an active plaza space.

Mature trees were preserved through air spading, root pruning and shoring with sheet piling in order to build the back wall of the mausoleum. Terraced walls ease the transition between building and landscape and offer opportunities for future memorialization.

The green roof allows the cemetery’s “Lawn Plan” aesthetic to seamlessly extend to a newly created overlook. The union between architecture and landscape is epitomized by the bronze framed earth forms containing skylights to the crypt rooms below.

The Serviceberry tree derives its name from its delicate blossoms, which signified to early American colonists that the ground had thawed enough to dig graves and have burial services. River stones collect runoff to a below grade infiltration system.

Circulation was shifted away from the building to allow for the creation of a series of sacred zones defined by raised bronze or granite curbing.

Close attention was given to coordinating views from interior spaces to the landscape beyond. Subtle articulations on the ground plane and a simple plant palette create a sense of enclosure while extending the building’s geometries into the landscape.

A reflecting pool acts as the organizing axis between the chapel and the existing mausoleum. The formal relationship is reinforced by an allée of trees offering a secluded place for reflection. Additionally, hawthorne trees ameliorate the existing outdoor crypt walls.

An invitation to the cemetery beyond, the terraced lawn steps rest undisturbed in the winter landscape.
