Project Description:
2015 - Situated in the ALFAW residential neighborhood within the Diplomatic district of Riyadh, a meticulously planned mosque stands as a testament to innovative mosque design and sustainable architecture. The mosque features a chapel with the capacity to host 390 prayers, paired with essential public services such as ablutions and separate toilet facilities for both genders. Complementing the mosque's design, an external courtyard further enriches the spiritual space. The mosque is seamlessly connected to the residences of the Imam and Moazen. Both residences span two floors, with a special emphasis on the Moazen's house. Crafted in alignment with the standards of the Passive House Institute from Germany, the Moazen's house embodies the principles of a passive house. Notably, it was constructed under the rigorous supervision of the institute, making it a pioneering model in Saudi Arabia for energy-efficient homes.
