Sancaklar mosque, Contemporary mosque in Büyükçekmece, Turkey
The Sancaklar Mosque integrates into a hillside with its rectangular minaret and prayer hall partially set below ground level, using slate and basalt materials.
Architect Emre Arolat completed the construction of this 700-square-meter religious building in 2012, accommodating up to 650 worshippers in its main prayer space.
Natural light filters through the curved concrete Qiblah wall into the cave-like prayer hall, creating an environment focused on meditation and spiritual connection.
The facility includes a library, teahouse, communal areas, and ablution spaces, serving as both a religious center and social gathering place for the community.
The mosque features a green roof covered with prairie vegetation that provides natural insulation while merging the structure with the surrounding landscape.
