Hotel on Agmashenebeli HWY

Located on Agmashenebeli Highway at the primary northern entrance to Tbilisi, this slim glass tower is conceived as a landmark that greets travelers arriving from the north. The narrow footprint and vertical proportions emphasize its role as a slender presence in the skyline, distinct from the broader massing typical of the surrounding development. At street level, a glazed, low-rise podium steps back from the road, anchoring the base while maintaining an open pedestrian threshold. The main tower shaft hovers above a recessed dark core, creating the impression that the entire structure floats just off the ground. A fully transparent top crown caps the building, echoing the open sky and extending the vertical silhouette.

The tower's defining move is a significant horizontal shift midway up the building, where the upper volume is offset from the base to create a bold cantilever. 

This displacement breaks the monolithic verticality of the form and generates an elevated plateau at the center of the building, which houses a sky garden offering hotel guests an outdoor green space high above the highway. The stacked, shifted composition gives the building a dynamic quality while maintaining a restrained, glass-clad exterior.

The dramatic mid-tower offset projects outward without visible external supports, relying on an internal structural core to bear the heavy overhang. Full-height glass panels with minimal mullion profiles wrap both volumes, giving the geometric form a crisp, reflective surface.
