Challenge

Overlooking the Caspian Sea and located in the heart of Baku, the Belvedere apartments were already under construction when ADP was appointed to the project. The Gulf Group briefed us to help the 420 new apartments achieve a strong sense of place and identity – one which would set a new standard for residential development in the area.

Approach + Solution

Spread across five blocks that rise to 16 storeys, our proposals provide enhanced cladding details that are designed to unify the elevations. This supports our ambition to create a sense of identity and place, a goal carried over into our interior design plans. Our proposals also include an improved entrance sequence and a concierge pavilion located at the top of two escalators, immediately crafting a sense of arrival for the people who pass through.

 

Our landscaping team has developed detailed concepts for the central courtyard, mixing hard and soft landscaping. This integrates the building into the surrounding streetscape, creating a perfect setting for the commercial and residential.
