Surau Design


Finally, i had finished my project of "Surau Design"....

Surau design is very difficult for me due to i am non-Muslim. At the beginning, i don't know anything about surau especially the terms and the design of interior surau. I was almost become maid when i get this studio project.

Then, i search many information of it and read many book that have related to the surau. When the first time i read it, many thing i don't know and almost given up. Luckily. they were some of my friend helping me at that time. They were Malay guys and they told me a lot of thing about the surau. At that time, I started can imagine the interior, the position of the room, term that related to surau.

The project is located at Wakaf Baru,Kelantan. It is a small surau. But, the requirement of this surau is must be based on the local identities, the traditional roof of kelantanese, is a post and beam building and the material that can use is only timber.

It took my 1 month to finish my design and the whole project. I feel relax now because i already finish my surau design. Below is my design(is an elevation), hope can get comments....
