This is a mosque which is designed based on the Malay architecture. Located in Seberang Jerteh, Terengganu Malaysia, it looks very majestic like old Malay King Palace in the 19th century.
I found this mosque is interesting and very uniquely designed and constructed. It has three-storey structure with the top floor is devoted to a library, first floor for praying hall and veranda and the ground floor occupied by a hall, eating area, toilets, ablution area, parking and landscaping.
Built in 2010 and completed for public use in 2012, the materials are mostly from cengal wood. Besut is famous for wood carving, therefore, it is natural for those in Besut to opt for this kind of design. Well, this kind of architecture has long been under long evolution time and had been tested over a long period that says it is still relevant to this modern day architecture.
It is a pleasant experience when you step into the compound and walk up the stairs. It is very well ventilated with special motif doors and windows. And the rest, you can judge yourself by looking at the pictures.
