Project Description:
The building's architecture is based on essential archetypal elements of a mosque, such as the Mihrab - a semicircle niche that points in the direction of Mecca. There are separate floors for the men and women to pray.
The mosque is modern but inspired by traditional Yoruba mud buildings, as to reflect the culture of the people and climate of the environment.
