Lisi Green Tower by UNstudio is the only multi-story modern building in the area. Its design revolves around the glass-clad contemporary shapes.
The Interior is consistent with the architecture and reflects the contours of the facade. The large outer glass layer was also appropriated to accommodate a flow of natural light. The dominance of subtle colors and rounded corners convey tranquility, which is the focal point of the design.
Artytechs’s vision of the urban development of the modern city and Tbilisi in particular.
Tbilisi is a city where primarily concern in terms of urban development is the adaption of architecture with existing environment, considering the landscape and maintaining the scale of the buildings surrounding the project area, which in most cases requires distinctive and unique approach.
Tbilisi is characterized with terraced terrain which accordingly directs our architectural vision to tailor our projects in a corresponding way. This kind of approach makes the landscape diverse, attractive and interesting for all types of buildings, whether it is residential, commercial or of any other kind. Hanging gardens with the automatic irrigation system promote the vertical development of the landscape and aesthetically blends with the exterior of a building.
Instead of massive concrete buildings we bring a new look of the city, contributing to the proper architectural development in Tbilisi.
Located at 1,700 m in the Borjomi region of Georgia, Bakuriani is nestled in the shadows of the breathtaking Caucasus Mountains, only a three-hour drive from Tbilisi. Home to dozens of alpine slopes and cross-country trails, it offers some of the most spectacular skiing and snowboarding in Europe.
Originally developed as an Olympic training facility, unsurprisingly, Bakuriani is Georgia’s most popular winter sports and recreation destination. Enjoy the downhill ski runs, cross-country trails, horseback tours, sledding or simply take long walks through beautiful snowy forests.
We aimed at changing the existing environment without major reconstruction. Therefore, we decided not to stick to any particular style, we wanted to come up with something that would suit all ages and tastes. Existing walls, windows, and apertures have been maintained and there were no substantial changes made in the bar and kitchen.
The most attention is drawn to the wall with different figures, which reflects the character of the nineteenth century and is interestingly blended in modern interiors. The figures themselves are in motion, reflected in golden cubes painted with modern methods.
Project is located on a Mtatsminda mountain that sharply divides the southeast boundary of Tbilisi and is the main dominant silhouette of the city. The mountain with its buildings has become a symbol of Tbilisi’s architectural and artistic kind. It is practically perceived from almost all districts of Tbilisi.
The idea of developing the Mtatsminda plateau first emerged at the end of the last century. At first, the construction of a country homes was intended, and later a proposal was made to build a “new city”. There was a project where the area was divided into neighborhoods and covered with streets. The construction of the funicular railway was made to further develop this idea. On the slopes of Mtatsminda around the Mamadaviti Church is a place of holiness for the Georgian people: “Pantheon of Writers and Public Figures”.
The gently alternating textures and the shades of white accentuate the layers in the space and create coziness in the bright interior. A large light grey segment on the living room floor, which outlines the area serves as a substitute to a carpet.
Interior deconstruction that preceded the renovation has made room for efficient space division. Bi-level entrance hall breaks the apartment into two wings: the left one of the first floor leads to a kitchen and the right one to a living room. The walls are layered with large marble tiles and wooden veneer, enriching and invigorating the space.
A master bedroom with an open bathroom and a guest room are located in the separate wings of the second floor. Transitional space between the floors contains a comfortable reading area with a library and a glass balcony. One of its walls is encrusted with plants, exuding distinctively calm atmosphere.
A road trajectory leading to ORESTE Wine Estate has been altered and a path directs a visitor through a vineyard towards a facade, where two buildings and a connecting bridge beautifully frame distant Alaverdi Monastery.
In order for a field of vision to cover more vineyard area, ground floor has been elevated. The first floor area of the building with a terrace is intended for a wine tasting. A second floor of the building, which is allocated for a bedroom and a bathroom, connects to the neighboring wine cellar with the bridge.
To accentuate an overall structure of the conjoined buildings, black and rusty metals, brick and glass were chosen as the primary materials for this project.
The apartment interiors and the lobbies carry similar design aesthetics: bright hues are contrasted with darker tones. Light colored materials were given preference due to the modest sizes of the apartments, but darker shades of the natural marble textures of Onyx and Cala Catta accentuate and sharpen the spaces. The vertical wooden detailing and the see-through partitions are giving more depth to the interiors of these small apartments.
The main entrance of Batumi Boulevard Residence, on the other hand, is quite massive and it's shared with a hotel, allocated to the first three floors of the building. Space is lofty and darker shades were comfortably embraced here.
A wavy and bold logo was also designed specifically for this project.
The residential building design demonstrates a meticulous focus on integrating green spaces and recreational areas throughout an entire structure; mid section of the first three floors, which are designated for parking, is hollowed out to make space for the trees. A spacious ground floor is apportioned to a recreational zone with a swimming pool and is enclosed by the sliding glass doors. The third floor functions as a recreational area.
A wooden texture paneling emphasizes the prominence of verdancy within the design. Shared rooftop also represents a green zone with a panoramic view of the city.
The building resides in a heavily populated area, but its design and location ensure, that the tenants of the surrounding residential buildings are also able to enjoy the city view.
