HOTEL CRESCENT

http://www.skyscrapernews.com/news.php?ref=1357

Acting as the counterpoint to Hotel Full Moon is Hotel Crescent, part of the Caspian Plus redevelopment that stands as a curving arch similar to a crescent moon. The arch-like nature of the building is revealed by the fact that the structure isn't a pure crescent on its inside relying on more regularly shaped columns to help provide it with support.

At 32 floors tall it will also be a luxury hotel, this time with 221 rooms. There will also be 128 serviced apartments in the building. Floor space will 128,140 square metres.

Behind it will stand a further four tall buildings, three of which will be residential with the tallest of the quartet being a 43 floor office building standing 203 metres tall.

Heerim Architects have not long been established in Azerbaijan. They only opened their office in the country in July 2007 and yet have already secured these two major projects that face transforming the capital of one of the world's fastest growing economies.

At 32 floors tall it will also be a luxury Kempinski hotel with 221 rooms. There will be 128 serviced apartments in the building. Floor space will 128,140 square metres.

Behind it there will be a podium with two more high-rise buildings, one residential and one office building with the tallest one 43 floor standing 203 metres tall.
