In Islam any form of house design is acceptable as long as it does not contradict to the Islamic fundamentals. What is relative in Islam can change according to a particular situation and en vironment.

A Muslim house concept has a certain quality such as beautiful design and inside decoration, a clean kitchen, and sufficient number of rooms for a decent family life like two or more bathrooms, a family hall, a prayer hall, a guest room. These qualities signify a happy family life. A sufficient number of rooms is important to accommodate family members and for their privacy.

In Islamic architecture, beauty is a holistic concept. Contemporary house design, beauty is only partially concern. This Islamic house design in blended with natural forces-wind direction, sunlight and air, and surrounding environment for natural ventilation and reduces thermal heat.

In tropical climate, forces of nature enable a cheaper house to be built. A naturally ventilated house (example design that provide air well for a free flow and circulation of air in the house) and natural lighting is cheap to maintain because it consumes less energy.

Similarly, in temperate climate, this house design has adapted to the climatic conditions. Nonetheless, as per Islam guides, the layout are aligned to wind passage, not facing direction of sun rise and sun set, and it facing the Kaaba. Inside the home, a bed has been positioned so that leg should not face the Kaaba during sleep, a toilet should not face the Kaaba. Islam allows such position only if there is a wall or a partition.

Design of neighborhood in Islam is to allow a less restricted movement of neighbors. So Muslim house do not have fence that separate neighbors. However in today’s society, house need fencing for security and safety reason which Islam allows to do.
