Tulip Project – Khoja Mosque, Madagascar
Overview
The Tulip Project stands as a remarkable example of architectural revival, structural engineering, and cultural dedication. Located in Antananarivo, Madagascar, this large-scale renovation and expansion transformed an 80-year-old historical mosque into a modern religious and educational complex. The project involved full structural reinforcement, interior redesign, and modular façade development—completely handled from A to Z by our expert team.
What was once a deteriorated three-story concrete building is now a vibrant multifunctional religious center, including a mosque, a religious school, a ceremonial hall, a library, multiple classrooms, a funeral preparation room, parking, and a fully equipped kitchen. The project took 5 years due to local workforce challenges, but its results are a testament to perseverance, innovation, and respect for heritage.
