A Mosque that is built Today to address Generations of tomorrow with a message of acceptance: Islam welcomes different cultures with open arms. For that reason, Transparency is one of the most important characteristics to be associated to the Design, in order to exhibit the first four of the Islamic pillars in a Transparent place of Worship on the one hand and share the festivity of important Islamic Holidays such as El-Eid and Jum’a Prayer, not only with the world.
Sanctuary
The Mihrab where prayers are directed to be facing Mecca, a source of light for the Prayer Hall & the Library built underneath.
Spirituality
It is the Worshipper’s decision to get closer to the Worshiped, but as Designers we ought to maintain the sense of spirituality in the building, to offer the Worshipper an escape from the Materialist world, and a getaway to a rather metaphysical one.
Curiosity
The Library on the Main axis of the Green built but built underneath the Flying Mosque, is an attraction for all, & a symbol of the first Quranic verse received by the Prophet “Iqra’ /Read”
Interaction
A Place of Worship that appeals enough to invite all people from different backgrounds & the Wider community, not only to explore its exceptional aesthetics but also to be part of the message of peace, love, & acceptance it conveys.

Contouring for best views
The sketch above is a longitudinal section sketch on the whole plot, which shows the leveling in the whole project starting from the main road till the end of the beach shore touching the sea water. The Project has been design based on multiple steps, the highest point is the hotel reception lobby building, which is in the beginning of the project from the main road side and from that point steps are going down, each step is lower by around 30 to 60 cm until it reach to the sea shore, this way all the project can have a direct access to the magnificent water front view, also the buildings and the units are oriented towards the prevailing wind direction and to receive the sun indirectly most of the day and provide shade to the rooms most of the day, in that case the heat gain is reduced to the minimum to reach the highest levels of sustainability and efficiency in the project.
