Six residential projects showcasing Chapman Taylor's global approach to contemporary living
From vibrant waterfront communities and luxury villas to urban regeneration and Build-to-Rent neighbourhoods, Chapman Taylor continues to design residential projects that respond to the unique character of their location while creating places where people and communities can thrive.
Spanning Europe and the Caucasus, these six current projects demonstrate the breadth of Chapman Taylor's residential expertise, combining architecture, masterplanning and placemaking to create distinctive homes and neighbourhoods for the future.
Located in the heart of Baku, Botanica Residence introduces a new benchmark for premium urban living. The 56,000 m2 GBA above-ground development combines contemporary architecture with generous green spaces, creating an elegant residential environment centred on wellbeing, sustainability and community. Carefully designed public realm, landscaped courtyards and high-quality amenities provide residents with a refined lifestyle while strengthening connections to the surrounding city.
The development comprises four residential towers containing 359 premium apartments and four penthouses. Two of the buildings rise to 22 storeys and two to 18 storeys.
A new benchmark for quality living in Baku
Situated on Baku Boulevard within the prestigious Crescent Bay masterplan, Liman Estate offers an exclusive waterfront lifestyle through a collection of low-rise residential buildings and luxury villas overlooking the Caspian Sea. Designed around the principles of low-density living, the gated community balances privacy with exceptional amenities, landscaped gardens and direct access to one of the city's most desirable waterfront locations.
The development comprises 209 apartments in four low-rise residential buildings, 12 luxury villas, a private members' club, a restaurant, a fitness centre, an indoor swimming pool, landscaped gardens and resident amenities.
Contemporary luxury living inspired by the Caspian Sea
Positioned between the Adriatic coastline and dramatic mountain landscapes, Orikum Horizon reimagines coastal living through a mixed-use masterplan that integrates 150,000 m² of residential neighbourhoods with hospitality, retail, leisure and public spaces. Organised into five distinctive character areas, the development creates a walkable, people-focused community where architecture, landscape and lifestyle come together to establish a new benchmark for the Albanian Riviera.
Landscaped boulevards, waterfront promenades, civic squares, and generous green spaces establish a people-focused environment that celebrates outdoor living while fostering a strong sense of place.
The masterplan reflects Chapman Taylor's multidisciplinary expertise in architecture, urban design, landscape, and placemaking
In Berlin, Chapman Taylor is transforming a former communications and electronics plant into a vibrant riverside residential neighbourhood. The 26,800 m² gross floor area scheme comprises nine contemporary residential buildings arranged around landscaped public spaces and a new riverside park, creating an attractive community that reconnects residents with the River Dahme while breathing new life into a former industrial site through thoughtful regeneration.
The riverside setting plays a central role in the design. Many apartments benefit from direct water views, while all homes feature generous balconies, often extending across the full width of the building.
Transforming a former industrial site into a vibrant riverside community
Set within 17 hectares of protected natural landscape, Sabina represents one of Europe's most exclusive residential destinations. Chapman Taylor has completed a further delivery phase of the luxury villa estate, where contemporary architecture sits harmoniously within the island's extraordinary natural setting. Working alongside internationally renowned architects, the development combines private residences with world-class hospitality and wellness facilities to create a truly unique Mediterranean lifestyle destination.
A unique collection of 50 luxury villas, a clubhouse, a restaurant, a wellness temple, a gym, a spa, a swimming pool, tennis courts, and a theatre.
