Kuwait-based firm Babnimnim Design Studio creates the Mamluki Lancet Mosque located in Kuwait City. The local studio imagines the structure to have a geometric build blending both elements of classical Islamic emblems together with modern design cues. It is in the city's residential Al-Masayel district with five square forms which are rotated and stacked -- this is then topped off by a half dome shape to round it out.
The studio speaks about the design project stating "The Mamluki Lancet Mosque, Adlah Mohammed Abdulrahman AlBahar, is a tribute to the rich heritage of Islamic architecture while embracing contemporary design principles. It harmoniously integrates traditional elements with modern interpretations, offering a spiritual sanctuary that resonates with worshippers and the local community alike."
