Briskeby Mosque is located in a small park at Briskeby in Oslo. The mosque consists of a prayer room with associated functions, a library, an office, common rooms for different needs and a room for the ritual washing of the deceased. The building is constructed in steel and brick and the distinctive cylindrical construction helps
create different spaces in the otherwise rectangular and open plan. The main circulation system within the building consists of two ramps leading up to the prayer room.
