Al Khair Mosque: Oman’s First 3D-Printed Mosque

A Fusion of Tradition and Technology

Designed by Adi Architects in collaboration with Innotech Oman, the Al Khair Mosque combines advanced construction technology with the spiritual and cultural essence of Islamic architecture. Using additive manufacturing, the project aims to reduce construction costs by up to 30% and cut material waste by nearly 60%, setting a new benchmark for efficiency and environmental responsibility in the Gulf region.

Architectural Symbolism and Form

The mosque’s striking spiral ribbon design represents unity, infinity, and connection, reflecting both spiritual and environmental harmony. The main prayer hall takes an oval form capped by a central skylight (oculus) that bathes the interior in natural light.

Its sculptural minaret draws inspiration from Oman’s maritime heritage, resembling a traditional sail and the Omani incense burner, serving as a contemporary reinterpretation of classic Islamic motifs.

Sustainability at Its Core

Beyond its construction method, the Al Khair Mosque integrates solar panels, passive cooling systems, and the use of locally sourced and recycled materials, striving for a near net-zero operational footprint.

The project aligns with Oman’s broader sustainability goals while celebrating the country’s deep-rooted cultural identity.

A Landmark for the Future

Part of the Dahariz Waterfront Development Plan, the mosque is not only a house of worship but also a statement of Oman's innovation and commitment to sustainable architecture. Once completed, it is expected to serve as a model for how advanced technology can blend with tradition to redefine religious and civic spaces across the region.

As of October 2025, construction is actively progressing, marking a historic milestone for both Oman and the Middle East architectural landscape.
