Individual Residential Building

A hotel-type residential building is located on the coastal strip in Kobuleti, a city where the waves of the Black Sea echo the centuries-old history. A green boulevard and fresh air create a harmonious environment for people - both for relaxation and inspiration. The long rectangular shape of the territory, which develops parallel to the sea strip, determined the geometry of the building from the very beginning. But the architectural form is not just a response to the context - it is a carrier of an idea. The development of the concept served to solve the following issues: how should housing become a space of inspiration? How should comfort, nature and history be combined in a single architectural narrative? The answer to these questions moves us to the past - the pine forest territory of Kobuleti, which was covered by the powerful Colchian civilization even at the beginning of our era, became the main historical inspiration. Colchian artifacts discovered during archaeological excavations — including the symbolism found on the docks — gave rise to the main design theme: the panels used in the interior read this past in a modern language and create connections with the people who live here. The main solution of the facade is determined by the aluminum curtain-blinds, which simultaneously play both a functional and aesthetic role. It protects the building from climatic influences and creates its appearance, while the composite panels ensure the long-term durability of the facade and the constancy of the visual appearance. The color palette is reduced to two main tones — light and dark. Dark tones highlight the architectural contours, while the light blue curtain-blinds create the illusion that the upper part of the building disappears into the sky.
