“God is the Light of the heavens and the earth.” - Quran 24.35

The Creek Harbor Iconic Mosque’s proposal stems from the idea of a spiritual place immersed in landscape and light, where worshipers can find peace through meditation and observation of nature. The proposal is not only focusing on a single building but on a holistic built system: the mosque and its surroundings are conceived as a place for prayer and relaxation, a public park where the inhabitants can stroll under the outdoor canopies’ shade and observe the flora and fauna within the natural reserve.

The overarching building shape is reminiscent of mosque domes from architectural tradition, while its composition, made of different smaller units, creates a whole grander unitized space. This design language will generate a new, iconic, and recognizable building complex that will add a distinct landmark to the Creek Harbor Masterplan, attracting people to the area, not only for religious purposes but to be immersed in the natural park’s surrounding.
