Soyak Kristal Kule, the high-rise office tower located in Istanbul, has been awarded seventh place in the top ten Emporis Skyscrapers annual awards.
Soyak Kristal Kule is a 170m tower, made up of asymmetrical sloping surfaces. The 90,000m² office development added a dramatic silhouette to Istanbul´s skyline.
The building was chosen 7th by an international panel of experts from more than 300 skyscrapers. We provided project management services during design, tender and construction stages and we have been on board in the very early stages, starting with the selection of the whole design team.
The Emporis Skyscraper Award is one of world's most renowned prizes for high-rise architecture and has been awarded on an international basis every year since 2000. The primary criteria in awarding the prize are excellence in aesthetic and functional design. Every year, a jury of experts selects the winner. Buildings must have a minimum height of 100 metres and have been completed during the previous calendar year.
