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.
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 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.
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.
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.
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.
