Flame Towers, Three skyscrapers in downtown Baku, Azerbaijan.
Description
The Flame Towers are three glass-clad structures standing 190 meters tall, arranged in a triangular formation that creates a flame-like profile on the skyline. The south tower contains residential apartments, the central one houses a hotel with guest rooms, and the north tower holds office spaces.
History
Construction began in 2007 under the design of architecture firm HOK and was completed in 2012. The project became a defining feature of modern Baku's development and reshaped the city's commercial identity.
Culture
The towers embody Azerbaijan's connection to its natural gas heritage through their flame-inspired design. At night, they glow with orange and red patterns that define the city skyline.
Practical
The complex is accessible from multiple sides and most easily reached on foot from downtown. The exterior facades are viewable during the day, while the LED light displays are most striking during evening hours.
Did you know?
The building operates with over 10,000 LED lights integrated into the facade, one of the world's largest building display systems. At night, these lights create dynamic visual effects visible not only from across the Caspian Sea but also from distant neighborhoods.
