Chapman Taylor’s design for Shusha High Street wins a "Temel" Architecture Award

Chapman Taylor’s design for Shusha's High Street has been honoured with the prestigious "Temel" Architecture Award in Azerbaijan.

Nearly 100 of Azerbaijan’s finest architectural projects from the past year were evaluated, with the most outstanding projects being recognised and awarded.

The award ceremony took place on Friday, February 28th, bringing together political and industry leaders, along with representatives from over 100 architectural firms that have contributed to Azerbaijan’s urban development.

Inspired by the city's rich historical architecture, our design for the main High Street seamlessly blends heritage design elements with the demands of a modern city environment.
