Project

Baku Olympic Stadium

Located in the capital city Baku of Azerbaijan is a multi-purpose sporting complex accommodating 68,000 spectators which Heerim provided both design and CM services up to its completion in 2015.

The stadium design motif was inspired by the Maiden Tower (UNESCO world heritage of Azerbaijan), while the dynamic stadium façade embodied the image of burning flame which is the symbol of Azerbaijan itself, the “land of fire”.
