The space
Building Materials:
built from heavy hardwood species called cengal (Balanocarpus heimii) constructed in post and
beam system.

The system utilized complex tenon and motise joints that require no metal fasteners to join the
timber members.
A major proportion of structural, elemental and decorative components of the mosque were
made from cengal; a timber species well known for its durability and resistance to effect of
moisture and attacks from fungus and termites.
To minimize the effect of moisture and to gain maximum effect of airflow, the buildings were
constructed on stilts

the stilts were all made from cengal posts and planted into the ground on buried stone footings.

Concrete pedestals or footing replacement are used

Simple traditional hand tools such as chisels, axe, ceter (a small hoe), plane, jig saw and drill are
used to cut, incise or shave the timber boards for carving.
Spatial Organization

are relatively small as compared to mosques of Ottomon or Mughul Empire.

Masjid Kampong Laut is the largest with 342m2 floor area and Masjid Aur Menajung is the
smallest with 47m2 floor area.

They can accommodate a congregation of 50 to 400 people


the spaces in the mosques comprise a main prayer hall, mihrab, attic (only in Masjid
Kampong Laut), serambi (verandah), entrance hall, and ablution space.

A minaret exists at Masjid Telok Manok as an extension of the roof covering the mihrab

Masjid Kampong Laut as a 25-meter tall structure linked by a resting space to the main
prayer hall
The longest span of the floor and roof beams is 5.1m long in Masjid Kampong Laut. This long
span is possible using thick cengal beams, some measuring more than 75x230mm.

Before the presence of electricity and mechanical ventilation systems, the builders took
full advantage on the natural airflow of the tropical climate.

The hot, humid tropical climate demands plenty of ventilation in a building. Thus craftsmen
installed many perforated components such as ventilation panels (top hung) over door and
window, perforated walls, louvered window leaves, perforated gables and tiered roofs (similar
to jack roofs) with perforated panels. Many of the ventilation panels, walls and door leaves are
carved in simple geometric patterns, or with complex floral or calligraphic forms.
Carved Building Components

categorized into three types,


namely, structural, elemental and
ornamental.
