Project Description
Mosque interior design requires a very specific knowledge of the Muslim religion and culture since they are the insignia of Islamic architecture. So the mosque interior design is extremely iconic in its ambient quality and vision. All the details of the design have been kept decidedly abstract in order to honor the Muslim culture and the practice of prayer that takes place in the mosque 5 times a day. Moreover, special attention has been paid to maintaining an ambience of understated grandness throughout the mosque. The idea was to enhance the mystical quality of a space-of-worship in order to elevate the spiritual connection with God through spatial experience.
The interiors have Mihrab, a niche in the wall of the mosque, also commonly addressed as the ‘Qibla Wall, helps to symbolize the direction of prayer, is designed beautifully with combination of white and beige natural stone. The side walls of the mosque are made of natural stone panels with exquisite lit-up stone carved Arabic jali pattern. A luxurious chandelier, mainly developed in height, is placed in the center of dome in order to illuminate the space with great impact. The Ribbed Qubba (dome) ceiling is ornately embellished with small motifs to create breathtaking patterns that are meant to enchant the entire appearance and feel of the room.
The wall to wall carpet flooring with gold lines, forms the ground texture of the entire iconic Mosque as a continuous pattern to keep a monotone spiritual quality. The gold line patterns in carpet represent the richness of material and is articulated as an intricate traditional design that is a derivative of a typical Arabic pattern.
By making the corner side façades of the mosque mostly transparent, the penetration of daylight, as well as the visual connection between inside and outside is enabled. The mosque’s overall ambience seems to create a serene and stress-free environment, with soft tones and a sense of peacefulness.
