Concepts & Design (sanctuary) paragraaf 4

Because a sacred place is first and foremost an experience, and one where beauty plays a key role, it was necessary to visually alter the existing structure. The space available for creating this meditative space consisted of a rectangular sanctuary with lowered ceilings (50m2) and a separate area for Islamic cleansing rituals (10m2). These rooms were to be finished in accordance with the standard building specifications, which gave them a real hospital feel. I wanted to address this situation, something that did not always go smoothly.
