Quran Mosque

Located in the prestigious Diriyah Gate, the Quran Mosque is designed to serve a total of 900 worshippers, with space for 400 indoors and an additional 500 in the outdoor plaza. Beyond the prayer halls, the facility acts as a mixed-use structure, incorporating private residences for the Imam and Muezzin, as well as a basement level dedicated to mechanical systems and storage.

The main challenge for the Quran Mosque was ensuring safety within a mixed-use building that combines a busy prayer hall with private housing and technical basement areas. We had to design strict fire separation to protect the residential units and storage zones from the public assembly spaces. Additionally, we developed an efficient exit strategy to safely manage the flow of 900 worshippers during peak times, integrating all safety features discreetly to preserve the traditional Najdi architecture of Diriyah Gate.

Red Helmet Engineering implemented a strict compartmentation strategy that established fire-rated barriers to isolate the residential units and basement risks from the public prayer areas. We designed a fluid egress system capable of handling simultaneous exits from both the indoor hall and outdoor plaza, ensuring rapid evacuation without bottlenecks. All fire protection systems were carefully selected and positioned to remain unobtrusive, securing full Civil Defense approval while maintaining the spiritual atmosphere and visual integrity of the Najdi design.
