Architecture firm GRAFT has won first place in the competition to design the new Rose Square in Tbisili, Georgia.
Located in front of the Radisson Blu Hotel, which GRAFT renovated in 2009, the site will be transformed into a leisure area with various seating options, and a parking lot underneath.
Through a folded surface, “the new Rose Square will connect the different levels and areas and lead visitors to the underground center through a calm, elegant landscape” that seems to float above the ground.
“Sunken gardens” of sorts, as well as retail and restaurant space and an amphitheater will occupy the Square. Water mirrors and fountains will refresh visitors in the summer and can be converted into areas for ice skating in the winter. An underground pedestrian path will connect the hotel with the nearby Boulevard Rustaveli.
Construction on the project is set to begin in summer 2016. Learn more about the project here.
