Azerbaijan to build world’s tallest building

Azerbaijan Tower

Azerbaijan is planning to build the world’s tallest building – taller than both the Burj Khalifa and the upcoming Kingdom Tower to be built in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia.
Azerbaijan Tower, which is set to break ground in 2015, will  rise more than a kilometer in height, or 3,444 feet, upon its completion in 2018 or 2019,
 The Azerbaijan Tower is being built on a series of artificial islands, called the Khazar Islands, constructed in the Caspian Sea off Garadag, southwest of Baku.
The tower is the centerpiece for a massive, $100 billion mixed-use master plan with housing, schools, retail and a Formula 1 racetrack.
Developers plan to break ground on the tower in 2015, with construction is slated to finish by 2019. The entire Khazar Islands are expected to be finished by 2022.


The 2016 Summer Olympics Amazing Architecture!


Just when we thought we got used to seeing all kinds of extreme modern architectures, the 2016 Summer Olympics preparations started, leaving us speechless. The international multi-sport event will be hosted in Rio de Janeiro from August 5 to 21, 2016.
The man made waterfall on the island is simply amazing. A beautiful display of lights, color and shape makes this construction look like a small part of an alien city. We can’t wait to see it finished!

Jade Mountain, St.Lucia


Jade Mountain, St Lucia

Jade Mountain is a striking contemporary celebration of Saint Lucia’s stunning scenic beauty. Perched above its sister beach hotel, Anse Chastanet, it offers a wealth of cosseting amenities and luxurious touches.

24 super stylish Infinity Pool Sanctuaries and 5 Sky Jacuzzi Suites benefit from overwhelming views of the ocean and the dramatic Gros and Petit Pitons. Each residence only has three walls with the fourth left open, integrating the accommodation with the dramatic panorama, while the open bathrooms are simply magnificent. Cross your individual bridge and slip into a world of total relaxation, devoid of modern communications to help enhance the sense of peace.

Guests can access two beaches via Anse Chastanet and take advantage of the fabulous snorkelling and PADI scuba diving centre, as well as yacht excursions. Tennis, beach Yoga, mountain biking and hiking are also available at Anse Chastanet, while Jade Mountain itself has an exquisite boutique spa, Kai en Ciel.

Jade Cuisine is, just like the resort’s design, fresh, unique and utterly decadent. Sip cocktails on the terrace at the scenic Jade Mountain Club or imbibe and dine in the privacy of your own sanctuary.
