About the Project
The mosque project in Cherkala is designed for a tight, irregular site. The ground floor accommodates parking and a women’s prayer space, while the first and second floors are dedicated to men’s prayer spaces, with separate entrances for each. The design aims to create a unique mosque that integrates well with the environment and resolves local climatic challenges, providing a functional and distinct space for worship.

The mosque design incorporates jali patterns and a light well, allowing natural light to flood the ground floor, creating a peaceful atmosphere for prayer. The men’s prayer area features a circular layout, symbolizing infinity and eliminating directional focus, enhancing the spiritual experience. Sixteen skylights illuminate the space, emphasizing calmness and devotion. This approach, with covered areas for both men and women, creates a unique and serene environment for worship.
