For a generation, glass defined the luxury tower. Now architects are turning back to stone — and to travertine in particular, with its warm tone and gentle texture.
A material that ages well
Travertine weathers slowly and evenly, gaining character rather than losing it. Honed or brushed, it softens strong sunlight and gives facades a sense of permanence.
Where we are seeing it
From the bronze-and-stone fins of new towers in Tashkent City to restored villas in Almaty, travertine is being paired with bronze and timber for a palette that feels calm and enduring.
