The first professional photos are emerging from our recently completed Karwa Mosque. This mosque has been serving the local muslim community living in an old seaside village in Tanjong Tokong on the island of Penang, Malaysia since 1897. It used to be a quiet fishing village until the 1970s when urbanisation and densification started to take over. The coastline here has dramatically changed due to land reclamation exercises which allowed the building of malls and high-rise condominiums. Surrounded by modern tall buildings, the new mosque marks a gateway to the existing village which consisted of old half-timbered houses built based on the vernacular style. -
