BADR COMMUNITY CENTER
The Islamic Community Center is designed as a place that brings together and meets the spiritual, social and educational needs of the Muslim community. Its architecture is carefully designed to reflect Islamic principles, while providing a welcoming and functional environment. The main entrance to the center is adorned with a majestic portal, symbolizing the warm welcome and openness towards all members of the community.
The exterior of the building is characterized by elegant geometric shapes and Islamic architectural details, such as arches, domes and calligraphic motifs. Once inside, visitors are greeted by a spacious and bright atrium. The materials used, such as marble and finely crafted wood, add a touch of sophistication and warmth to the entire space.
The colours chosen are calming, creating an atmosphere conducive to inner peace and reflection. At the heart of the centre is the main prayer hall, which is a beautiful and serene space. Luxurious and comfortable carpets cover the floor, oriented towards the direction of Mecca. An abundance of natural light floods in through large bay windows, creating a calming spiritual ambience. The walls are adorned with verses from the Quran in fine calligraphy, adding an artistic and sacred dimension to the space.
Overall, the Islamic Community Center is designed to be an inspiring place, where spirituality and community meet. Its architecture highlights Islamic aesthetics, while creating a welcoming, functional and harmonious environment to meet the needs of the Muslim community in all its dimensions.
