Overview
About the mosque
The mosque's building comprises three components, which are linked together with an open veranda crea. The veranda areas provide for a covered walkway from the entrance porch directly into the mosque. A two-storeyed flat roof building accommodates the mincret, reminiscent of an Art Deco style structure with long and narrow-framed fenestrations. The building does provide for a central entrance porch, ornamented with a simple triangular cornice pattern. The minaret, on the other hand, is formed on an octagonal base, divided into three tiers with the similar cornice, before it is surmounted on a concrete cloister vault dome. A peculiar round pattern ornamentation is each four side of the minarets.
