Project: Design the Mihrab area for Masjid Niah (2009)

The architect and designer for Masjid Niah is NBL Architects Sdn Bhd. For this project, I have to design the mihrab area for this mosque. Before my boss proceed the final one, I have showed him about 4 proposals but he rejected them all. After he rejected so many proposals, we did a long meeting with all the senior designers to discuss about the design for this mihrab.

Here I just show you some of the proposal I did and the final design that client proceed. I did all  of these views not more than 1 hour using 3D Max because my boss wanted to see  them on that day too. I just did what I can and these are the result. For that time I don't have any idea to design the mihrab area and I just design follow what style the client wants.

Below shows the final design for Masjid Niah mihrab area. Before submit this final design, I have to proposed the same design with different of colors. I designed the whole mihrab using 3D Max 9 and edit for the color using Photoshop.

On December 2009, two months after that, i did go to the site to do research for my final degree thesis. I quit happy because of the design I did has been applied to this mosque even though the contractor has changed a little bit from the proposed design.
