Key principles

What this room needs.

  • The same finish quality, light and air as the main hall, never a basement afterthought.
  • A clear view of the imam, or at least a screen and good audio. Nobody should have to guess where the prayer is.
  • Its own wudu area and restrooms nearby, built to the same standard.
  • Space for strollers and a quiet area for mothers with small children.

Coming in the full guide

Three material tiers, drawn sections and plans, product examples and a PDF. Same format as the wudu area guide.
