Our Story

In a world of disconnection, noise, and burnout — many of us are quietly searching for something deeper. A place to feel grounded. A place to reconnect with nature, with faith, with meaning.

What if that place wasn’t just a retreat… but a way of life?

My name is Adnan, founder of Atelier Khan, a London-based design&build practice rooted in soulful architecture and purposeful placemaking. After years of envisioning and studying sacred design, I’m now working to bring something extraordinary to life:

Madinat al-Fitrah — The Village of Sacred Balance — a living Sunnah.

It’s a self-sufficient micro-village rooted in Islamic tradition, ecological stewardship, and purposeful community. A place to live simply and spiritually — with balance, beauty, and barakah.

What Is Madinat al-Fitrah?

Madinat al-Fitrah is a prototype village that revives the Prophetic way of living:

  • Close to nature

  • Close to the land

  • Close to the Divine

  • Close to community

From bee farms to olive groves, from martial arts dojos to forest bathing paths, the village will host a wide range of wellness, educational, and spiritual experiences designed for:

  • Youth & families

  • Teachers & healers

  • Seekers & visitors

  • Permanent residents who serve the land and people

This is more than a project. It’s a revolution of return — to the land, to the Sunnah, to the soul.

What Will the Village Include?

1) Sunnah Practice Zones:

  • Horse ranch & sand arena for training and wrestling

  • Archery range, swordsmanship & martial arts dojo

  • Wadi-style natural swimming pond

  • Sunnah-inspired children’s play area

2) Self-Sufficient Agriculture:

Bee farms → raw honey production

Olive groves → cold-pressed oil & prophetic skincare lab

Bamboo forest → forest bathing & sustainable materials

Medicinal herb gardens → oils, healing, teaching

Chickens & cows → eggs, dairy, meat

Composting & irrigation loops → zero-waste ecosystem

3) Sacred Village Life:

  • Eco-homes for permanent community members

  • Communal masjid & dhikr gardens

  • Healing hammam and wellness spa

  • Shared kitchen, study spaces, and farm-to-table cooking

  • Facilities for retreats, camps, learning, and visitors

Sample Future Programs

Once built, the village will host:

  • Youth Camps: horse riding, brotherhood, archery, life skills

  • Family Retreats: unplugged, spiritually nourishing weekends

  • Healing Weekends: forest therapy, dhikr circles, holistic wellness

  • Learning Experiences: sustainable living, prophetic medicine, Qur’anic study

  • Farm Education: school visits, gardening, animal care
