Contemporary residential living
Contemporary residential living
Designed as a series of cohesive urban blocks, the development balances contemporary residential living with the character and permanence of the city's architectural heritage. Spacious apartments occupy the upper floors, arranged around landscaped central courtyards that provide residents with secure private gardens, children's play areas and spaces for relaxation, fostering a strong sense of community within each block.
A mix of uses
A mix of uses
At street level, the development contributes to an active and welcoming public realm through a mix of retail units, cafés and restaurants. Outdoor terraces and seating areas encourage social interaction and animate the surrounding streets throughout the day, reinforcing the walkable, mixed-use principles that define the White City vision. Two levels of basement parking ensure vehicle access is accommodated discreetly, allowing the focus at ground level to remain firmly on people.
Timeless and distinctive architecture
Timeless and distinctive architecture
The architectural language reinterprets classical design principles through a contemporary lens, creating buildings that are both timeless and distinctive. Locally sourced stone establishes a strong connection to Baku's rich architectural tradition, while finely carved detailing celebrates the craftsmanship of local stonemasons. Carefully detailed decorative metalwork introduces visual refinement and lightness, giving the façades an elegant rhythm and depth.
A strong sense of identity
A strong sense of identity
Chapman Taylor also designed the interiors for the residential entrances and lobbies across the development, extending the architectural vision into the buildings’ key arrival spaces. The interior design complements the contemporary character of the architecture, creating welcoming and refined environments that establish a strong sense of identity from the moment residents and visitors enter each building.
The project reflects our commitment to creating places that are rooted in their local context while responding to the needs of modern urban living
