A Luminous Symbol of Devotion

This design proposal near Simly Dam balances simplicity with sacred geometry, utilizing open courtyards and natural ventilation to create a modern spiritual landmark.

The two-level layout efficiently organizes prayer halls, service areas, and funeral spaces, while Arabic calligraphy and a slender minaret reinforce the building’s spiritual identity.

PROJECT CONCEPT

The design, titled “Weaving Light and Shadow,” utilizes a series of parabolic arches to animate the interiors through shifting natural light patterns.

  • Jali screens filter sunlight by day and transform the masjid into a glowing lantern by night.
  • A minimalist approach featuring Arabic calligraphy and a slender minaret.
  • Organized prayer halls and services across the lower and upper ground levels.

Innovative architecture blending functionality, aesthetics, and sustainability to create timeless spaces.
