The community mosque.

The community mosque.

The community mosque is a space designed purely for the community. As well as functioning as a place of worship it has additional community spaces that is open for anyone to use. Each additional space has a direct link to the a core value of Islam. The library to Ilm (knowledge), the garden to nature and the donation centre to charity.

This project was a way to encourage those who are unfamiliar with places of worship to visit and understand them. A invitation to see “what goes on inside”.
