The project territory is the waterfront of Shaori Lake, located in Racha, one of the most beautiful regions of Georgia. The place has a strategic location since it is in the middle of fascinating touristic landmarks.

Two building materials - local wood and concrete establish the connection to Georgian vernacular architecture. The formal articulation of the interior and exterior spaces composes a specific and unique visitor experience. The offsetting and division of planar arcs suggest three architectonic scenarios: Front yard, central courtyard, and semi-private yard.
The fragmented solitary buildings become unified through a circular path-way proposing different interior and exterior spaces. The continuous path-way gradually changes its functions; From the playground to the bridge, from the bridge to the central courtyard, and finally to the observation deck penetrating the Shaori Lake. This kind of spatial gradation provides complex architectonic spaces and playfulness.

The inner courtyard space imitates the canyons, cliffs, and rocks found in the surrounding nature of the Racha Region. The ground floor, with different public areas and private balconies of hotel rooms, provides spectacular views of Shaori Lake.
