Project Location: Jalan Alor, Bukit Bintang

Area: 167m² / 1800ft

Central to the vision of the "Unity in Renewal" project is the promotion of inclusivity and accessibility within [Mosque Name]. This means creating spaces and facilities that cater to the diverse needs and preferences of the community, including gender-inclusive prayer areas, facilities for children and families, and accommodations for worshippers with disabilities. By ensuring that all members of the community feel welcome and valued, it will truly become a place where everyone can come together in unity and harmony. 

In addition to enhancing comfort and accessibility, the "Unity in Renewal" project seeks to elevate the aesthetics and cultural significance. Architectural refurbishments that include modern design elements that celebrate Islamic traditions and create a sense of tranquility and reverence. Artistic embellishments, such as calligraphy, and ventilation block, will adorn the interior and exterior of the mosque, infusing it with modern look and visual interest. 

The renovation of an old mosque presents an opportunity to breathe new life into its interior, transitioning from a typical spatial layout to one that promotes airiness and spaciousness. By embracing principles of light, openness, and flow, we can create a sanctuary that uplifts worshippers and fosters a sense of peace and tranquility. One of the most effective ways to enhance the feeling of airiness and spaciousness in a mosque is by maximizing the use of natural light. This can be achieved by introducing large windows, skylights, and clerestory openings that allow daylight to flood into the prayer hall. Removing barriers between the interior and exterior, such as decorative screens or partitions, further facilitates the penetration of light, creating a luminous and uplifting atmosphere that inspires contemplation and connection. 

The choice of colors and finishes can significantly impact the perceived spaciousness of an interior space. Light, neutral colors, such as white, cream, and pale shades of blue or green, help to reflect light and create a sense of airiness and expansiveness. Glossy or reflective surfaces, such as polished marble floors, mirrored accents, and metallic finishes, further enhance the luminosity and depth of the space, bouncing light around the room and visually expanding its boundaries. Additionally, incorporating natural materials, such as wood, stone, and woven textiles, adds warmth and texture, balancing the sleekness of reflective surfaces with organic elements.
