Torres Rani Towers, Map uto
T
he brief from the developers was to create
an iconic building that would enrich Maputo’s
skyline whist satisfying the critical shortage
of ‘A’ grade residential and office accommodation.
The sinuous shapes of the plan and façade were
inspired by the rolling hills and undulating coastline
of Mozambique.
The site is located on the Avenida Da Marginal
along the coastline of Maputo. The development
shares a site with the existing Radisson Blu Hotel.
The project consists of two tower blocks on a
common 4-storey podium which incorporates
parking, service and support facilities, as well as a
retail mall component.
The apartment tower consists of 18 storeys of
serviced apartments comprising one, two, and three
bedroom units. The uppermost two floors contain
five duplex penthouse units. Each apartment has a
continuous terrace on the perimeter and full height
solar glazing to take advantage of the spectacular
views of the Indian Ocean and Maputo’s coastline.
