Sunshine Mosque, Ottoman mosque in Victoria, Australia.
The Sunshine Mosque displays a central dome over the prayer hall with tall pencil-shaped minarets and an arcaded courtyard opposite the qibla wall.
Construction of the Sunshine Mosque began in 1992, introducing Ottoman architectural elements to the Australian religious landscape through its design and structural features.
The interior space incorporates muqarnas vaulting decorative techniques, creating geometric patterns that distribute the weight of the dome across multiple transition points.
The mosque includes facilities for religious education, public gatherings, and regular prayer services that accommodate the local Muslim population in Victoria.
The building merges traditional Ottoman architectural principles with modern construction methods, featuring symmetrical layouts and multiple galleries within its minarets.
