An Islamic geometric motif from open-and-solid block pairs.
Masjid Al-Ikhlas, also known as the Naza Mosque, is a contemporary Islamic place of worship located within the NAZA Group corporate complex in Shah Alam. The mosque combines clean, geometric architectural lines with climate-sensitive design features, aligning with the principles of simplicity, spirituality, and sustainability. Open-air corridors and transitional spaces are emphasized to enhance thermal comfort and reduce energy dependence.
Use of PBM Ventilation Blocks
PBM’s VentBlocks were specified to support natural airflow, filtered light, and façade rhythm across various parts of the mosque, particularly in:
• Wudhu (ablution) areas
•Semi-enclosed corridors and waiting spaces
•External service zones requiring airflow and privacy
Two matching block types were used in harmony:
•VB 196.100 – Standard model with opening, enabling airflow and daylight penetration
•VB 197.100 – Solid version of the same design, used for visual continuity and ventilation control where airflow was not required
This alternating pattern allowed the architect to maintain a consistent Islamic geometric motif while precisely controlling the openness of the wall. The neutral tone of the blocks enhances the mosque’s serene and minimalist architectural language.

VentBlocks were used in a repeating pattern of open and closed modules, achieving a modern Islamic screen effect while promoting passive airflow and privacy.
