'Hotel Full Moon‘ is a concept skyscraper by a Korean firm Heerim Architects and it is so radically different from the traditional structures that once it is made it will transform the view of Azerbaijani capital Baku. Ever seen a gherkin around? Hotel Full Moon is a concept that seems to have borrowed a thing or two from that fruit. The side profile of the hotel is round and the skyscraper has a hole in one of the top corners that appear different as per the angle it is viewed from.
This changing appearance has a lot to do with the cladding architectural elements introduced into the structure. ‘The front will have a glass diagrid whilst the back will be covered with hexagonal honeycombs.’
The skyscraper itself will rise to 158.68 meters and 35 stories will be devoted to a luxury hotel with 382 rooms. The hotel will be linked via a zoomorphically shaped podium to two residential blocks, curiously named Palace of Wind 1 and 2.
Acting as the counterpoint to Hotel Full Moon is Hotel Crescent
