Deniz Mall

Located on land reclaimed from the Caspian Sea, Deniz Mall is a 120,000m² entertainment, retail, leisure and dining destination over five floors. A ‘flame’ tower is the centrepiece of eight star-shaped architectural wings inspired by Azerbaijan’s national emblem. The eight pointed star reflects the eight branches of the Turkic people, while the fire at the centre of the emblem symbolises Azerbaijan’s identity as the “Land of Fire”. The form is not artificially applied to the building; it is integrated as a natural part of the overall architectural concept. Chapman Taylor designed the original building as a congress centre in 2007, and now the building has been repurposed, keeping the same design, to include entertainment, leisure, F&B and retail facilities.
