On the western edge of the Caspian Sea near Baku, Azerbaijan, the Full Moon Hotel was a planned structure. The shape of Hotel Full Moon initially resembled a disc with rounded corners and a hole in one of the top corners, with aspects that change drastically depending on the direction they are viewed from.
The Aypara (Crescent Moon) Tower, which is being built around the bay in front of the Port Baku buildings, was intended to be a counterbalance to the Full Moon Hotel, which was intended to add to the “new Dubai” vibe of the city’s 21st-century architecture. The building’s skeleton is almost finished, but it’s evident that the original plan was scrapped in favor of something that resembles a huge lotus flower.

Bahía de la Luna Llena
Reinventing the traditional notion of the skyscraper, Azerbaijan-based Heerim Architects have dreamed up two stunning lunar-inspired projects that will radically change the skyline of the capital city of the central Asian republic.
La firma coreana planea construir Full Moon Bay y Caspian Plus en lados opuestos de la bahía para que actúen como marcadores de la puerta de entrada a Bakú.
El punto culminante del proyecto será el hotel celestial Full Moon, que se construirá esencialmente como un disco con bordes redondeados y un agujero en una de las esquinas superiores que parecería drásticamente diferente desde diferentes ángulos de visión.
The bulky center will give the front a distinct appearance with the glass diagrid contrasting with the hexagonal honeycombs in the back of the structure. The main building of the hotel will house the 35-storey luxury hotel with 104,182 square meters of space-occupying 382 rooms.
El hotel de 158.68 metros se conectará a dos bloques de apartamentos residenciales llamados Palace of Wind 1 y 2 a través de un podio de forma zoomorfa que se curvará alrededor del límite.
Hotel Crescent, which will be a part of the Caspian Plus, will be designed to act as a counterpoint to the Hotel Full Moon and will feature an arched structure similar to a crescent moon. The hotel will have 32 storeys with a total of 221 rooms and 128 serviced apartments on 128,140 square meters of floor space.
Cuatro edificios residenciales y de oficinas actuarán como telón de fondo de la impresionante estructura, el más alto de los cuales tendrá una altura de 203 metros. La bahía divina se espera con ansias, ya que el diseño inicial solo promete convertirlo en uno de los sitios más impresionantes del mundo.
