This private mosque and madrasa, which service a new residential complex, are located in an urban environment that “replaces the traditional models in this region of Africa.” The mosque is separated between a prayer hall and a galleried prayer court.
The mosque consists of the main prayer hall, women’s prayer hall and a grand square which serves as an extension for praying.
Both buildings have Nasrid Palaces of the Alhambra-inspired columns. The inside of the mosque’s five domes is adorned with Murano glass chandeliers and coated in a mosaic of turquoise and copper. Craftsmen educated in Cameroon created the domes and the suspended coffered ceilings in staff and stucco.
A prayer hall and a galleried court make up the mosque. The mosque’s five domes are covered in mosaic made of turquoise and copper.
Ground floor area: 440 m²; combined floor area: 137,000 m²; total site area: 1,850 m²
