Overview 

A redesign project for Al-Qa’dah Old Mosque in Al-Majmaah, on a 1,725.58 m² site, with a total built-up area of 975 m², comprising a 650 m² ground floor and a 325 m² mezzanine. The project aims to improve spatial planning and functionality to meet worshippers’ needs. The new design adopts the Najdi architectural style, continuing the architectural character of the original mosque.

Design Concept

The house reads as a single quarried mass, incised rather than assembled. Openings are treated as deep recesses so that the wall retains its weight, while an inner courtyard releases the plan into air, water and planting.
