ISRA MOSQUE

Mosque is located in the heart of nature in the magnificent nature of the V Orman Resort project in the Mudurnu district of Bolu which is famous for its natural beauties. The building is not only a place of worship; it also functions as an area where Muslims gather, worship and have religious conversations.

In order to benefit from the magnificent nature view, the mihrab part is designed as completely glass. The reinforced concrete beams and columns in this area are completely covered with natural wood material. The main carrier reinforced concrete curtains on the right and left of the mihrab section were also covered with natural wood material and Esma'ul Husna was placed in Islamic motifs.

The project consists of 4 floors in total; the main core has a staircase and elevator providing access to all floors. The prayer hall section of the mosque consists of 3 floors and a gallery space was considered on 2 floors in order to ensure the connection of the floors with the mihrab. 

Separate entrances and exits for men and women were considered and a separate mahfil floor was built for women.

There is a library on the lowest floor of the project. Here, it is aimed for users to conduct research, continue their education, and engage in educational and instructive conversations. There are also separate workshop rooms for both adults and children.
