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.
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.
The straight walls of a dining room and a kitchen were curved so that transition between an entrance hall and a living room would feel smoother. To make a case for subtle gradations the living room wall is vertically striped. Lines are applied to few other walls and objects as well. Dark materials in the spacious house are juxtaposed with soft shapes and shades of beige. Intricately entangled lightings are attached to the backlit oval sheets, which are layered on the ceiling.

As part of an innovative business corridor in the northern area of Tbilisi’s city centre, GRAFT developed a masterplan for the Didube Chughureti District that creates a scenic and dynamic landscape and a healthy work environment with a wide range of activities for visitors and residents. The development comprises a series of buildings that vary in scale and composition, reorganizing the site while meshing with the existing urban fabric.
The structure was realized through a bottom-up approach; Forms emerged after deciding how spaces with specific functionalities would be arranged in the house.
Dense tree population in the front yard was kept intact and for the purpose of eliminating the distraction from the residence’s harmonious blend with nature, the parking spot is allocated in the back side of the building.
The new interior design created for the Mirror Beauty House by Zviad Surguladze is full of unpredictable details. The space is the mix of classic, contemporary and surrealistic details at the same time. The interior bears the experimental nature, I’ve tried to present it as a classic piece with surreal elements, which led to the cutting of panels and doors right on horizon, and I’ve decided to emphasize all this by cutting the pictures together with their frames. On the other hand, the mirrors are thematic for the interior and the fact that they reflect each other countless times makes the space even more surreal.
FABRIKA is the new type of multifunctional space in Tbilisi.
The authors of the idea – the founders of MUA – aim to transform the empty building into an urban space that become a platform for the young and free minded artists to create and share, implement and execute new ideas.
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.
