The 500 capacity Mosque was designed by interior designer Zeynep Fadıllıoğlu who is famous for designing shops, restaurants and luxury hotels along with other female artists receiving worldwide acclaim.
It features traditional Ottoman style features such as a large dome covering the main prayer area, minarets and a courtyard.
