Drivers crossing the coastal border between Turkey and Georgia will now pass below a knobbly observation tower by Berlin architect J. Mayer H.
The bumpy tower, which sits atop the Sarpi Border Checkpoint building, houses a series of elevated terraces within its folds.

The curved two-storey building beneath the tower integrates customs facilities with a café, staff room and conference rooms.
This year architect J. Mayer H. also completed a controversial timber canopy across a public square in Spain – see readers’ comments on the project here and see more projects by the architect here.
