Architect David Adjaye designs the Abrahamic Family House, which is an interfaith complex located in Abu Dhabi. It features a church, a synagogue, as well as a mosque in the space. The house is made up of three cubic buildings that stand alone with flat roofs on top.
All of them are equal in volume but they each have their own distinctive features such as varied-sized courtyards. Adjaye states that “Each building’s architectural articulation is unique, and specifically oriented to its siting and religious references. The columns on each side of the building have seven points that touch the ground and eight points that touch the soffit – with seven being a representative symbol of man, and eight representing God above.”
