Freak Fabrique

We have some passion - Soviet architecture. Often it’s an ideological inspiration for our work and a kind of soul terephy. Not just a Registry Office, but a real "Soviet temple," the architecture of which refers to the foreign church architecture of the mid-twentieth century. This structure really resembles Western temples, which became the core of the design. The idea was based on two palms, two hearts embracing a beautiful stained-glass window located in the center. The main struggle with the designers was for the lack of a horizontal beam. As a result, the beam was thrown away. The fasteners turned out very wide as the calculations were done manually. It could have been more elegant, but still the idea was realized. A very small building but the construction period was 4 years.

We are so lucky to have the opportunity to build and restore a spectacular space integrated into a power facility of the Aragats Science Institute — an enormous piece of human technology meant to collect the energy of the Sun.
