Baku Boulevard Offices

A concept for an office building on Baku’s seaside boulevard, with a stone skin designed to withstand strong Caspian winds.

Baku is known as the City of Winds. This concept, prepared for an invited competition, responds to harsh northerly winds and bright coastal light.

A stone skin and sheltered courts

The north façade, in local Absheron limestone with deep-set windows, forms a shield against the wind. The south side opens onto stepped courtyards that, in the lee of the building, offer usable outdoor space for most of the year.

The scheme is currently at feasibility stage.
