Harry Wayne Huizenga once said “some people dream of success, while other people wake up every morning and make it happen”. Well, those people really wake up every morning and sometimes even on week-ends to rush to their offices to make it happen. So, here in Azerbaijan the Baku Flame Towers is preparing to provide their clients with one of the best office blocks in all over the country to support their innovative ideas and plans. These three beautiful, fascinating, and breathtaking buildings have become contemporary architectural symbols of the city.
HOK, formerly known as Hellmuth Obata & Kassabaum, an American engineering company, became design architect of the project promoted by Azinko Development MMC, Hill International made project managers and DIA holding – design and build contractors. Unique and unrepeatable design was inspired by history of Azerbaijan. The three buildings with the form of spurts of flames designate the title of the country as the “Land of Fire” population of which worshipped it. Such places as Ateshgah and Yanardag, where fire is breaking out of the ground, have always been magically beautiful, but inexplicable scenes for ancient people. Even now, when we already understand the reasons of not extinguishing flame, we are still mesmerized by this amazing, and powerful, and spellful view. Trio of Towers forming triangle represent three cardinal points: South, East, and West. Barry Hughes, Head of Retail and Mixed Use mentioned that this bold design’s aim was to serve for creating unique focal point on Baku’s skyline.
Each tower has total blue-glass façade with more than ten thousand high-power LED illuminations that are used for providing a number of imaging or optical applications. Such construction became pretty challenging because of sleek irregular shape of the buildings and changes from one level to another. Flame Tower’s LED screens display the flag of Azerbaijan Republic, red flames embracing skyscrapers, the silhouette of a person waving the flag, giant tanks of water being filled. We should point out that private advertisement is not possible for promotion, so only in years that have special events for the country some changes may be included to primary applications, like Eurovision logo “light your fire” in year two thousand and twelve, when Azerbaijan hosted the song contest, fireworks and crystals. At night time all eyes go to Flame Towers with light shows that make them be seen from the farthest points of the city. Although all three skyscrapers look similar, they have different height and serve specific function.
The first of trio skyscrapers is the tallest out of the three constructions and takes fourth place among the highest buildings in Baku. There are thirty nine floors above the ground and it has curtain wall façade system. It was designed to become the final point of destination for Shahidlar Khiyabani cemetery, aligning itself with trajectory of memorial walk. The Residential tower occupies south position and looks at Parliament Avenue. It provides clients with one hundred thirty luxury apartments with mesmerizing view and fifty secure parking places. Being located in Flame Towers means World-Class service with just a 3-minute walk from the famous Martyrs’ Alley or Azerbaijan Carpet Museum. One may enjoy marvelous view of the city and breathtaking neighbourhood with Caspian Sea.
The second of trio skyscrapers is a five star hotel, located on East. Meeting its star levels Fairmont Baku brings two hundred ninety nine guest rooms, stunningly appointed nineteen serviced apartments and variety Fairmont Gold options. In addition to a full-service the hotel offers a restaurant, three lounge bars and two cafes. The guests have an access to fitness center, swimming pools and luxury spa centers, which include traditional hammam, sauna and massages. Two floors are given under use of spa center. The first floor is for people who want to have different kinds of health activities and revitalization, while the second one is for relaxation.

Elegant and charming eleven meeting rooms are available for different kinds of formal events, forums, celebrations of birthdays and weddings. The hotel being almost one hundred sixty four meters high and having thirty six floors above the ground, takes seventh place among the highest buildings in Baku. Being part of Flame Towers Fairmont Baku hotel has the direct access to the Shopping Mall and IMAX Cinema. Here in two thousand fourteen Lamborghini manufacturing company opened its first brunch that is located on the ground floor. Special “Stay and Play” service is hotels zest. This is all year around offer, when guests may stay at hotel and get transport to and back from golf club called “Dreamland”. Park Cinema has six halls with over eight hundred seats granting visitors comfort and luxury atmosphere. Here people may enjoy first IMAX cinema in Azerbaijan containing two hundred eighty two places for spectators. IMAX auditorium has the largest screen in the whole country with “gold” standard of movie experience. It excites the audience with high quality pictures, the best 3D, and sounds piercing to the bones. During summer months Park Cinema becomes the only open-air cinema in Baku moving to Amburah Beach Club. The last, but not the least important advantage is direct access to Business Center located in the third tower.
Taking the eights place among the highest buildings in Baku right after the second tower Business Center has twenty eight floors above the ground. It is set on West and provides its clients with A class office blocks with panoramic windows for 33.114 square meters. Flexible and commercial space’s rent will cost you 50 AZN.

Business Center is fully equipped and provides their clients and guests with following services: IT Butler service and high-speed internet access. Printing, photocopying, secretarial, courier and facsimile services are also included. Functioning twenty four hours a day it takes care of clients’ needs. The place where towers and pavilions meet creates natural and fluid connection between interior and exterior view, serving towers different functions. So people from Residential tower and Fairmont Baku hotel have comfortable access to Business Center and its services. Such linking scheme was critical and optional from the very beginning of the project. Besides that fifty high-secure parking places are also at disposal for their use.
