Best Future Design Award – Shortlisted Mosque 2024

The contemporary design combines traditional Islamic architectural elements, including the intricate Kuficâ™ calligraphy, the oldest form of Arabic script with modern materials and construction techniques to retain and complement the local vernacular. The result features a metal clad and perforated minaret, providing a focal point to the busy junction, and offers a distinct, high-quality piece of modern Islamic architecture ideally suited for its setting.

Exterior features include a combination of metal cladding and brick detailing, which give the building a sleek and modern look to achieve a balance between creating a local landmark along the busy A-road and addressing the sensitive residential context. The use of perforated screens adds an extra layer of texture to the façade, while also allowing natural light to filter into the interior spaces.
