The idea of designing Chandgaon Mosque lies in the spirituality of the Houses of God. We can find it in preventing ornamentation and decoration, in the monumental scale, and in the connection between outside and inside areas, especially in the night when it makes a dramatic scene, when openings provide natural light and ventilation and reflect the status of mosques in the community. The design of the Chandgaon mosque consists of two identical cuboid volumes, the frontcourt has masonry walls punctuated with wide openings onto the landscape.  In the second volume, the naturally lit mihrab wall is balanced by an iconic, cut dome.
