Irek Mosque

The main feature of the building, designed by architect Evgeny Bolotny, is the distinctive interior wall covering made of curved marble slabs finely inlaid with Bianco Sivec marble: “the whitest marble in the world”, originating from the only quarry in Macedonia.

Creating these marble coverings was a real design and technological challenge: being a curved wall, to enable the material to fit perfectly, the floral inlay was cut diagonally, according to very precise algorithmic calculations, using state-of-the-art machinery.
