The Parliament of Uzbekistan

From September to December 2005 the F.H.L. Group supplied for the parliament of Uzbekistan in Tashkent, 12 half-circle columns as well as 8 entire circle formed columns of snow-white Sivec marble of A1-A2 quality. These columns appear in the front facade of the building as well as in the adjacent parts of this, giving an ancient Greek style to this imposing building. Beside the columns, the group provided also 6.500 m2 Sivec white marbles in various dimensions for the exterior cladding, which gives the building its characteristic white appearance. Equally impressive is also the gate that leads to the enormous park in front of the parliament’s building. This gate that has been also manufactured by snow-white Sivec marble is constituted like an arch supported by 16 column beams. Its total length is approximately 120 metres. The total value for the Sivec marbles alone amounts to ca. 1.500.000, 00 €.
