The Grove Design Hotel in Tbilisi, Georgia by Laboratory of architecture #3October 17th, 2017 by Sumit Singhal
Article source: Laboratory of architecture #3 The diversity and contrasts which is offered by the physical and psychological context of the building site, provoked a certain conceptual objective which goes through every part of the exterior and interior design composition. Aim was to sustain a quantum quality of being here and there at the same time, holding the design at the degree when opposite meanings blend into a single matter. Though the layout and the volumes of the Building were intentionally chopped, to achieve a human scale, it still has the large scale elements like a dynamic shape of a portico or a monolithic surface on the facade of a tower which provide a certain feeling of monumentality.

The building is shaped also to integrate the group of cypress trees the architecture attempts to embrace and honor the vegetation by serving as a giant planter for them. Name of the hotel is derived from that small grove of threes. The building features a specially fabricated perforated fibreconcrete curved panels on facade.

Interiors are left without any objects of art or any other visually descriptive or figurative image. Idea is to put the guest as a human being with his possible activities in the center of the world around him. Composition of the inner space is never full without a guest living/acting in it.

Yielding three different colors to the corridors is attempt of experiment with shifting the genres from modernity to surreal.

Play of colorful shades projected from the bottles lighted from behind the fabric wall are presented in the lounge area. the bar is coated with automobile wrapping foil so that the glossy copper surfaces are deep and vibrant.
