- Transform ONLY the central mosque into a **Traditional Architectural Style**, while keeping it within a **present-day residential neighborhood in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia**.
IMPORTANT:
The MOSQUE is traditional.
The SURROUNDING NEIGHBORHOOD is CONTEMPORARY PRESENT-DAY RIYADH.
Do NOT make the entire scene historical.
### MOSQUE — FIXED GEOMETRY
Preserve the mosque geometry 100%:
• Exact massing and footprint
• Exact building height and proportions
• Exact courtyard geometry
• Exact arcade geometry, columns and number of bays
• Exact openings and entrances
• Exact minaret geometry, height and location
• Exact roof and parapet geometry
Do NOT reshape, add or remove any architectural volume.
### TRADITIONAL MOSQUE CHARACTER
Apply a refined traditional architectural expression ONLY to the mosque.
Use:
• Warm muted reddish-brown / clay-toned plaster
• Refined traditional earth-toned render
• Slight natural plaster texture — subtle, NOT rough or deteriorated
• Dark natural timber doors
• Deep shadows around existing openings
• Small triangular ventilation motifs used sparingly
• Thin traditional geometric bands
• Limited off-white trim as a secondary accent
• Restrained handcrafted details
The mosque should look like a **well-maintained traditional mosque existing today**, NOT an abandoned historical mud building.
### ROOF — VERY IMPORTANT
Create a REALISTIC, CLEAN, FUNCTIONAL FLAT MOSQUE ROOF.
The roof must look properly constructed, finished and maintained.
Use a smooth matte waterproofed roof finish in a light warm sand / beige tone.
The roof surface must be:
• Flat and clean
• Uniform and professionally finished
• Realistically waterproofed
• Slightly lighter than the façades
• Free from dirt, cracks, exposed soil or rough mud texture
Do NOT make the roof look like raw earth, desert sand, mud, unfinished adobe or an archaeological building.
Preserve the existing parapet exactly.
### COURTYARD
Preserve the exact courtyard.
Use clean, realistic traditional stone paving in restrained warm neutral tones.
No excessive landscaping inside the courtyard.
### MINARET
Keep the EXACT existing minaret geometry.
Apply the same traditional mosque material palette with restrained off-white detailing.
Do NOT redesign the minaret.
### SURROUNDING HOUSES — PRESENT-DAY RIYADH
Keep the neighborhood clearly **modern and contemporary, representing Riyadh today**.
Surround the mosque with realistic current Riyadh houses and villas:
• Contemporary 2–3 story Saudi villas
• Modern rectangular residential masses
• White, off-white, beige and contemporary Saudi stone façades
• Large modern residential windows
• Contemporary entrance gates and boundary walls
• Modern garage doors
• Glass and metal details where appropriate
• Rooftop water tanks and AC equipment subtly integrated
• Realistic parked modern cars
• Clean asphalt streets and sidewalks
• Contemporary streetlights
• Climate-appropriate trees and palms
Create natural architectural variation between the houses.
The contrast should be intentional:
**a traditional mosque preserved within a contemporary Riyadh residential neighborhood.**
Do NOT apply the mosque’s traditional style to surrounding houses.
### CRITICAL
MOSQUE = TRADITIONAL.
SURROUNDING HOUSES = PRESENT-DAY RIYADH.
Do NOT create an old Najdi village.
Do NOT make surrounding houses mud-brick.
Do NOT make the scene historical.
Do NOT make the mosque roof dirty, sandy, cracked or unfinished.
Do NOT change mosque geometry.
Do NOT change the minaret.
Do NOT change the arcade.
Do NOT add domes.
Do NOT change the camera angle or perspective.
Final result: **the exact same traditional-style mosque, perfectly maintained and realistically constructed, embedded within a contemporary residential neighborhood representing Riyadh today.**
Photorealistic, realistic materials and construction, clean maintained architecture, natural Riyadh daylight.
