QURAN VILLAGE MOSQUE

The Quran Village Mosque is conceived as a contemporary expression of Islam's universality, where architecture, nature and faith are brought into harmony. Set within a retention pond, the mosque appears to emerge from the landscape, while a white perforated aluminium veil wraps the building as a symbol of purity and filtered light. Oriented by a minaret marking the Qibla and supported by passive environmental strategies, the design creates a place of worship that is both spiritually grounded and responsive to its tropical setting.

MASJID MACMA 

The proposed mosque brings together Islamic architecture and Chinese architectural influences, reflecting the cultural identity of the Malaysian Chinese Muslim community. Inspired by the traditional Chinese pavilion, a red brick entrance gateway leads to a prayer hall beneath a pagoda-inspired roof that introduces natural daylight. Geometric screens, water features and integrated planting provide shade, passive cooling and a welcoming environment for worship and community.
