Naya Nazimabad Mosque
Botticino cream marble, supplied and cut to size for the elevations. A mosque is read from the street in full Karachi daylight, which puts every joint and every tonal shift on show, so the slabs were selected for an even cream field rather than heavy veining and run in sequence across each plane. Honed and sealed to hold that field as the sun moves around the building.

The project record follows the cream stone from the broad elevations to the entrance steps, screened openings and covered walkway. The wider views show how the cladding reads across the building; the closer photographs let a specifier study the surface beside the geometric screens and door openings.
For a similar elevation, begin with the actual stone sample and a drawing of the joints, openings and cut pieces. Approve the slab selection before cutting, and discuss how separate deliveries will be matched. The Botticino material page sets out the finish and selection questions to bring to that conversation.
