SACRED SPACES

The journey to the workshop begins at street level, where the user would enter through the masjid and make there way through to the workshop. This pathway represents the desire, using the mosque as a medium to be removed from the vibran-cy of brick lane. Upon reaching the second level of the masjid you are presented with the workshop. The ground level consists of the reception and exhibition space, along with congrugational space for the creative individuals. Lift/stairs on either end

of the workshops permit vertical circulation and will take the users to the second level of the workshop, where the magic commences.
