A selection of hospitality, residential, civic, landscape, and interior projects.
Nabran, Khachmaz Region, Azerbaijan•2023
Luxury five-star hotel and wellness resort situated within the coastal forest of Nabran. The architecture synthesizes classical Mediterranean symmetry with modern hospitality standards, featuring a grand portico entrance, rhythmic pilasters, arched dormers, expansive glazing, and integrated spa facilities.
Baku, Azerbaijan
Curvilinear coastal residential tower concept proposed for the Baku waterfront. The design features sculpted terraced levels and continuous balconies oriented toward panoramic Caspian Sea vistas.
189 Azadliq Avenue, Baku, Azerbaijan•2025
Comprehensive interior design for a state-of-the-art medical and diagnostic center on Azadliq Avenue. The design moves away from sterile clinical tropes toward biophilic comfort, natural European oak finishes, indirect acoustic lighting, and clear wayfinding.
Zangilan, Baharlı, Azerbaijan
Civic landscape and public spring restoration in the Zangilan region. The project centers on the historic spring source, surrounding it with a stone colonnade pavilion, stepped amphitheater, pedestrian arched bridge, and shaded timber pergolas.
24 Samasi Aragveli St, Tbilisi, Georgia•2018
Commercial corporate office headquarters in central Tbilisi. The building employs crisp modernist massing with dark metallic framing, rhythmic vertical sun-shading louvers, and glazed curtain walls articulated for natural daylighting.
