Project

We made the stonework of Vefa Mosque in Salar, Afyonkarahisar. The portal is in Marmara marble: pilasters with a geometric star pattern on either side, a calligraphy panel and a pointed arch above. The outer window surrounds are basalt, with arch infills in Küfeki stone carrying a star rosette; the surrounds inside are Marmara marble. The body and steps of the ablution fountain in the courtyard are in the same marble. The patterns were worked by CNC in our factory, and we installed every piece on site.
