Islamic Home Layout

When planning a home layout, key considerations include privacy, modesty, hospitality and a connection to Islamic values, practices & culture. Additionally, the layout should facilitate family cohesion and allow for spiritual practices. 

These principles translate into specific layout preference in Singapore such as a separation of bedrooms from living/dining rooms (guest area), access of common bathrooms away from laundry area, a closed kitchen layout in cases of ghusl for a deceased family members, prayer space for congregational prayers and a designated study for lifelong learning activities.
