Situated in the village of Tskneti, in the eastern part of Georgia, the house is surrounded by lush almond gardens, mountain ranges, and a picturesque view of Tbilisi. The newly developed area has a low population density, making it a perfect refuge and an alternative to the bustling, polluted city center.
A minimalist design concept was chosen for this interior design project, with a focus on a monochromatic color palette and a limited range of textures. Calacatta marble was the dominant material used, with other materials chosen to complement its tones. In the common room, a natural stone wall with vertical linear carving serves to highlight the organic character of the material.
The common room is bordered on two sides by stained glass windows and offers a view of Vake Park. Within the monochromatic interior, the rays of the sun entering at different times add a distinct atmosphere to the space. To provide protection from the sun’s glare, gray blinds have been installed.
The project is located on the shores of Shaori Lake in Racha, a mountainous region of Georgia. While being sparsely populated, nature in Racha thrives, standing exceptionally beautiful throughout all four seasons.
Shaori Lake itself is fairly distant from the nearby towns and villages, resulting in underdeveloped infrastructure.
Lopota Lake Resort & Spa, a 60-hectare (148 acres) family-owned resort nestled in the heart of Kakheti region of eastern Georgia, has unveiled its latest lakeside business complex of rooms and suites designed by David Koiava of Georgian architectural firm, Design Avenue Studio. Comprising 45 design-centric rooms and six suites, the brand-new and energy efficient two-storey building boasts a seamless design concept, intended to merge beautifully with its natural surroundings.
On this small, 400 square meter area we decided to go with a simple and straightforward configuration: the first floor is allocated to the daytime spaces and a garage, the second floor is dedicated to the bedrooms, and the third floor is allotted to a terrace and a small studio. The cozy and cloistered yard surrounds and easily unravels in front of the first floor.
The surroundings are chaotically composed of various architectural styles and we wanted to bring a sharp and modern design into this environment, where it would stand out as a sculptural piece. The intention was to devise a captivating structure through simple shapes. We achieved this by tilting the planes as if these dark metal and wooden outer layers are folding ceaselessly into one another.
This 1.1 million-square-foot commercial high-rise building fronting the Atlanta BeltLine contains 1 million square feet of office space with street-level retail. Organized around a central thoroughfare that doubles as public civic plaza space, the building will create new urban connections between Old Fourth Ward Park and the rapidly revitalizing Atlanta BeltLine corridor.
This duplex is tucked away in nature. It was imperative to not overwhelm the visitor with an abundance of the design elements after a long drive from the city through the green landscapes. Furthermore, to be able to have an unobstructed view of the verdant surroundings the apartment has glass walls on the opposite ends. To emphasize this characteristic, the top floor living room and kitchen blend into each other without a partition between them.
Blackbird was first sketched in 2012. The drafts were jotted down in a few hours and the free-flowing ideas of a getaway cabin quickly took shape. The project came about through an unfiltered process, without any external impositions. It is by far the company’s most well-known project and manifests our core vision. Its latest version is more structurally refined and thoroughly thought out. Developing this type of unrestrained editorial projects help us grow and adjust our company’s focus.
What can we propose opposite the occupation? Our response is progress. We considered the context and went with a completely contemporary design, as we wanted to deliver the message loudly and spread it widely.
We perceived the Art Palace as having a gravitational pull in the environment. The building is trying to amplify this traction and become an interesting educational and cultural center. The architecture is inviting and eliminates any kind of barrier. The project is molded around the existing urban fabric.
The site is located to the North-West of Tbilisi, in the Saburtalo district, on a sloping hill near Lisi lake, with views over the city. A series of high profile practices Architects of Invention, Riccardo Bofill and UN Studio – have been commissioned to populate the masterplan with radically different, new build, 5 – 7 storey residential blocks, that will sit alongside a number of private houses.
