Abstract

This project is for a multiple story residential structure and urban redevelopment near the Shota Rustaveli square. This courtyard building is owned by different families and offers a communal frame supporting family use. The courtyard configuration promotes privacy and provides a safe semi-private space. The design goal of the project is to evolve the failing urban fabric and to develop a contemporary dwelling based on the historical and cultural precedent of the Tbilisi Courtyard house.The main feature of this project is the courtyard style residential building, which will provide multiple uses such as socializing, cooking, play space, and more. In addition, the project will attempt to reproduce city traditions via a seamless connection of redeveloped surrounding neighborhoods with the existing city fabric.
