The old capital of Georgia, Kutaisi, is regarded as the nation’s patrimonial city. The historical city center unites dozens of influential pieces of architectural heritage. But during soviet times Kutaisi was transformed from ancient capital into an industrial soviet city. In the composition of the city skyline, alongside church domes, industrial chimneys are peaking. Soviet influence is present until now and it creates peculiar city characteristics.

This multifunctional residential complex is designed considering above mentioned multidisciplinary profile of Kutaisi and the current city masterplan. We hope that the proposed architectural solution will have a beneficial impact on its urban atmosphere, standing as an example of preventing creeping urbanization and overgrown chaotic development of individual residential housing projects.

The project site is located near Youth Park, which represents a significant portion of the city’s protected recreational areas. A 10-floor building with a combination of brick and glass materials, creating an unusual, lightened facade, looks like a sail of a ship gazing towards the city. This composition creates visual dynamics, sailing guests of the hotel and residential habitats deep into the city's immense beauty.
