This study examines the visual and architectural integration at Malaysia's Putra Mosque, emphasizing how engineering design influences spatial and functional experiences. Integrating traditional and contemporary design elements, the mosque promotes psychological well-being and visual appeal. An analytical-descriptive approach, incorporating tools like Google Earth imagery, virtual exploration, visitor surveys, and field observations, underpins the investigation. Data analysis was performed using SPSS and Excel, revealing enhanced spatial and psychological experiences derived from the mosque’s design elements, such as natural lighting, open spaces, and lake views. The findings are situated within the broader context of Islamic architectural practices, offering recommendations for optimizing design features to reinforce functional and visual harmony
