The project object is located in Isani district, in so-called African settlement. Historically, the given territory represents the industrial part of the city. Total construction area is 29,125 m². Architectural composition of ‘Samgori Residence’ and its projection strategy are based on the thorough urban analysis and a comprehensive research of the context.

Studying the existing situation reveals a clear deficiency and need for a residential-commercial zone. And, on the other hand, the irrelevance of the characteristics provided by the industrial zone to the current trends.

The project proposal serves as a model for prevention of chaotic development and stretching of urban limits, which are caused by individual residential houses, on the expense of Tbilisi's natural landscape. Utilization of non-functional, formerly industrialized zones (brownfields) would contribute to effective and sustainable urban development.

Our goal is to revive the industrialized territory and return it to urban life with modern aesthetics, as well as to put an end to urban crawling, which is quite characteristic for the given territory. The existing inactive area of ‘African Settlement’ will be rejuvenated as residential-suburban area with socio-economic value.

The main inspiration for the project is the arid landscape of Tbilisi, with its pastel colors and shapes influenced by time, rock, and atmospheric erosion. Accordingly, light straw-colored ceramic tiles were chosen as the predominant facade material.  As for the architectural volume - the project is artificial geomorphic form, where its three main vertical facets are collapsed and represent the culmination of the dynamism of the facade.
