Project Details
This beautifully crafted prayer hall in Leicester serves the Dawoodi Bohra community and stands as a symbol of cultural heritage and spiritual identity. The structure draws inspiration from traditional Islamic and Fatimid design principles while being deeply rooted in the local architectural context.
Constructed using locally resonant red stone, the masjid respectfully aligns with the historic architectural language of Leicester’s built environment, blending harmoniously with its surroundings. The choice of red stone not only connects it to regional materiality but also symbolizes warmth, strength, and permanence.
The central arched entrance gives the structure a ceremonial and inviting presence.
Decorative diamond-shaped carved medallions punctuate the walls on either side along with other details, contribute to the rich ornamental narrative of the masjid.
