The historical part of Tbilisi is full of various architectural heritage buildings, the majority of which is on the edge of disappearance, vanishing, and transforming into dust. The challenge of modern architecture in the historic part of the city is implementing and coexisting with vernacular architecture, standing out its beauty and value while not overshadowing it.

The project is located in the heart of Tbilisi, underneath Mtatsminda mountain, not interfearing the authentic historic skyline of Tbilisi. While working on the project, our goal was to preserve the historic 19th-century residence, with its pseudo-Renaissance facade and balcony with unique ornaments, a striking example of unparalleled craftsmanship. The new part of the building is presented in the form of a 5-story volume, which completely faces Chonkadze Street and is covered with a vertical wooden facade system. Along with this, a one-story, asymmetric module was added to the existing building, which was created with identical wood cladding material.
