Proposal/ Surau Al Malek/ Landscape + finishes

 

 

• Proposed design

A minimal landscape within the prayer area.

 _

 

• In Progress

Originally, there wasn't supposed to be cemented floor within this area. It's too costly to have it removed.

 

 

Perhaps there's a way to work with this, by considering area as a huge planter box. Hopefully the green net is able to retain the soil within this area whenever water passed through it.

 

Depth of soil equivalent to the depth of roots. With shallow soil depth, could this control the growth of the plant?

water test. so far so good.
