SINARAN MESRA
what is sinaran mesra?
Sinaran Mesra is a community space that's designed for the elder malay-muslim community. A safe space for these elders that enriches culture & religion, mental wellbeing and sense of belonging.
Inspired by traditional Malay and Islamic designs, such as motifs & patterns, natural materials, and accents of old kampung style. I centered the project around it as a way to help make the users feel at home when they come in. Something they are familiar with that makes them have the sense of belonging.

Sinaran Mesra is packed with multiple programs where the elders could relax and enjoy. The focal point being the kitchen, in Malay society, cooking is also a form of bonding and sharing. Where generations share their skills and get along through food. Other than that, programs like, Islamic Learning, Reading Corner, and Arts & Crafts studio is available. Quiet areas also include resting rooms where the elders are provided with multiple rooms, a place to rest.
