The Lakhta Towers Hotel is an impressive example of modern architecture located in Primorsky District of St. Petersburg, in close proximity to the iconic Lakhta Center. The project as well as the Lakhta Center was designed by the Gorilla Project architectural bureau with the participation of the developer Gazprom Lakhta.
The beneficial location of Lakhta Towers in a promising business district provides convenient access to key transportation arteries and infrastructure. Its proximity to the Lakhta Center, the tallest skyscraper in Europe, provides guests with beautiful views of the city and the Gulf of Finland emphasizing the innovative character of the district.
The architecture of Lakhta Towers is an example of elegant technology. The smooth lines of the facade, clear silhouettes and abundance of glass create a sense of monumentality and elegance at the same time despite the size of the building. The multi-level composition, expressively pointing upwards, forms a recognizable silhouette that harmoniously complements the landscape formed by Lakhta Center. This building is an architectural dominant that epitomizes the innovative spirit of St. Petersburg.
The key role in the appearance of The Lakhta Towers belongs to glazing that provides facade aesthetics, energy efficiency and comfort. Innovative X-ONE insulated glass units were widely used in the project.
The significant part of the Lakhta Towers' glazing is made with X-ONE Climate MULTI triple glazed insulated glass units. Improved thermal insulation is achieved due to a special multifunctional outer glass and argon inside the chambers that effectively reduces heat loss. In addition, optimum sound insulation is ensured due to the increased thickness of the outer glass and the varying width of the distance frames. This combination of properties makes these insulated glass units ideal for objects with high requirements for strength and thermal insulation.
To create expressive curvilinear forms X-ONE Techno BENT insulated glass units were used that made it possible to implement the original idea of the project architects.
