Sacred [2014-55]

Sacred, the concept of what is a holy space that works as a prayer/meditation room for any individual.  The idea uses light, orientation and height to create a sense of holiness. Derived from domes and sharp roofs found in religious architecture, Sacred takes the form of a tall peaked figure that fans out. Seated on a tear drop base that works as an indicator pointing to the west for the Muslim individuals Sacred shows it is fit for various religions. The building displays various elements from the merging of diverse religious themes. Made of hardwood plywood, cork flooring and recycled melted plastic for the skylight feature, the design uses sustainable and eco-friendly materials. Sacred allows one a chance to feel closer and more connected to god and experience a pure and tranquil space.
