RESTAURANT COMPLEX “SHEMAHA”

About the project

The character of Pushkin's fairy tale, the insidious Shamakhan queen, comes, it turns out, from the real-life city of Shamakhi. This ancient city, located in the foothills of the Caucasus, was one of the stops on the Great Silk Road, and monuments of medieval architecture and craft traditions have been preserved in it to this day. All this makes the city and its surroundings an ideal tourist destination, for the development of which, among other activities, the restaurant complex project was created. The authors of the project sought to combine recognizable local features and attractiveness. The tower is a characteristic element of the historical buildings of the Absheron peninsula; in this case, it is formed by a reinforced concrete frame with glass filling. It is proposed to place restaurant halls on two levels of the tower, and the vast oval hall at its foot is designed as a banquet hall for crowded feasts, which are so loved in the Caucasus.

The centric plan of the tower allows you to turn its upper level into a rotating one around its axis.
