Lasha, can you tell us a bit about your architectural bureau?
Certainly! Our firm, AB5 Architectural Bureau, has been at the forefront of diverse architectural design for almost two decades. We work across a range of projects, from preserving cultural heritage sites to creating residential, commercial, and educational spaces. Our core principle is rooted in deep research, which shapes the urban solutions and architectural direction that make each of our projects distinctive.
How would you describe the architecture of "Roomix Tsintsadze"?
"Roomix on Tsintsadze" is all about creating a dynamic, urban energy. Positioned in the city’s core, it embodies a blend of functionality and public engagement. The design is influenced by two major urban principles of the area: first, the metropolitan scale, capturing the essence of the capital, and second, the generous green spaces like the nearby central park, formerly the city’s hippodrome, just 600 meters away. Our team at AB5 designed this building to unite urban vibrancy with open, green spaces that enhance city life and resident well-being.
What, in your view, makes Roomix Tsintsadze so unique?
The design prioritizes connectivity and comfort. The permeable ground floor is more than just an entry - it’s a vibrant space where the lobby, office hall, commercial area, and green open spaces converge. The complex encourages interaction and relaxation not only in the inner courtyard but also on beautifully landscaped terraces on the second and third floors. Inside, flexible office layouts and a wide variety of apartment types cater to diverse needs, whether facing the lively Tsintsadze Street or overlooking a tranquil green courtyard. This combination of comfort and unity is fundamental to the project’s sustainability and appeal.
Beyond the architecture, you're also leading the interior design for the Roomix lobby. What inspired you in creating this space?
In designing the lobby, I wanted residents to feel an immediate sense of home—a modern and welcoming space that feels like an extension of their own living area. The materials are carefully selected to foster this atmosphere.
What materials play a central role in the building’s design?
The building’s facade features LAMINAM thin facing stone, elegantly suspended on anodized aluminum profiles, combined with large panes of stained glass supported by sleek aluminum. For the lobby interior, we emphasized warmth and texture with natural wood shelves, LAMINAM stone finishes, and a thoughtfully designed lighting system that adds an inviting, cozy feel.
What does Roomix Tsintsadze personally mean to you?
To me, Roomix Tsinsadze stands for comfort, modernity, and innovation. Every aspect of its creation reflects these values, making it a space where design and functionality truly enhance the urban experience.
