This unique building in Abastumani, Georgia blends modern and traditional architecture styles
Conceptualized by Darejan Shatashvili, this one is built on the ruins of a 19th century stone building
Understanding the historical significance of the site, the designer has decided to preserve some parts of the ruins
The boutique hotel has four guest rooms spread across two floors
One side of the building features a lounge with stained glass windows facing the forest, while the other side hosts a common dining room
The concept of integrating a modern glass structure into the existing stone building ruins creates a picturesque accommodation while giving a second life to the old structure
To deal with heavy snowfall in the region, the cabin employs a special electric field within the frame of the glass roof that can generate heat to melt snow accumulation
The creation is a winner of A’ Design Award 2024
