Elia House | Tbilisi, Georgia | 2022
[Idaaf Architects]
Designed as a family home, ‘Elia House’ is set on on Elia hill, upper part of Avlabari, one of the oldest districts of Tbilisi. It is is one of the highest points of Tbilisi and has spectacular views over the capital. The landscape is a mixture of undulating inclines so to provide a strong contrast to the rolling mounds of the hill the building was designed as a minimalist box structure.
Given the slope, both storeys of Elia house provide access to the garden. The primary entrance is from the northern side of the house, where the upper floor is 564.4 meters above sea level. The interior features bright, airy rooms with a fluid layout. The ground floor is open plan with a combined living room, dining area and kitchen as well as an office and storage space. They are all open on the south side to take advantage of the breath-taking views of Tbilisi. The upper floor has two bedrooms and main suite, as well as stairway that leads to lower floor.
The two-level garden is designed as an open space. It contains various bushes and trees scattered here and there to accent the space. Text description by the architects.
