FLAME TOWERS

Baku Flame Towers is a new project of Diaholding http://www.diaholding.com striking new addition to the skyline of Baku. Inspired by Azerbaijan’s long history with fire worshipping, the towers will be an eternal flame for a modern Baku.

Located on the Caspian Sea in Azerbaijan, the site is situated on a hill overlooking Baku Bay, the old city center and the park. With a site area of approx 28,000 m2, the project brief requires the development of detailed drawings for 3 towers (hotel, residential and office) located on a retail podium. The total construction built up area of the project is 234,500 m2.

The construction has started in 2008 and is due for full completion 2013.

Info: Flame Towers won the Night Cup 2012 tournament at SkyscraperCity http://xl.skyscrapercity.com/?page=tournament&var=30

I think this project will be far better in real life

Now it's on the earth, the first floor is coming, right?

Btw Center part between the towers remind me Golden Terraces in Warsaw. Oh and the area looks quite small from the pictures, is it possible to build 3 large towers to there? Twins can look better than triplets imo, hope they can't fit the 3rd one

Interesting article about Flame Towers project revealing some new information!!!

Exactly! As i understand some 5-6 floors are retail parts. And in the description of the 3 towers on the website of DIA they say 29, 30 and 33 floors. It means they didn't count the retail part
