Project : Tsavkisi introduces a refined model of residential development near Tbilisi, where architecture responds to landscape and lifestyle is defined by calm, space, and long-term thinking. Located in Tsavkisi, just 22 minutes from Freedom Square, the project offers a rare opportunity to live close to the city while remaining deeply connected to nature. Q: Project Tsavkisi is often described as landscape-oriented. What does that mean in practice? A: Landscape-oriented architecture means starting with the land, not the building. The terrain, existing greenery, views, and natural slopes determined how the settlement was planned. Instead of flattening the area or forcing a grid, we allowed the landscape to guide road lines, plot positioning, and building orientation. The goal was to ensure that every home feels connected to nature visually, spatially, and emotionally. Q: What does a design code mean, and how does it influence the overall identity of a residential community? A: Our architecture is designed to coexist with nature rather than dominate it. For this reason, we developed architectural guiding principles - a design code. We introduced clear limits on building height and density so that building volumes remain within a human visual scale and respect the surrounding environment. Preserving sunlight, natural air circulation, and panoramic views across the entire site are key planning priorities. A recommended catalogue of facade finishing materials has been created, along with guidelines for fencing, ensuring that the overall visual identity of the neighborhood remains coherent and harmonious. We approach the challenge of creating a unique living environment through holistic and carefully balanced architectural solutions. Q: Regulations are often seen as restrictive. Why are they important for Project : Tsavkisi? A: Thoughtful regulations actually create value in the long term. Without rules, areas near cities often become chaotic and overbuilt, losing both character and value. Our architectural guidelines define settlement visual identity, buildings overall proportions, ensuring harmony across the neighborhood while still allowing for individual architectural expression. These regulations protect the landscape, the community, and the investment of every resident. Q: What kind of lifestyle does Project : Tsavkisi aim to offer compared to the city? A: The project is built around the idea of balance - just 18 minutes from the city center, surrounded by beautiful views and fresh air. Here, mornings begin with nature rather than noise, and evenings feel calm, without losing connection to the city. More than 2.3 hectares of the site are dedicated to shared green and recreational spaces, including walking paths, cycling routes, children’s play areas, and outdoor activity zones. Most importantly, these spaces are an integral part of everyday life within the community, while the territory itself borders the vast Kodjori forest with its centuries-old trees. This is a lifestyle that values space, privacy, and a calmer, healthier rhythm of living.
