Arakishvili Apartment is a minimal apartment located in Tbilisi, Georgia, designed by Idaaf Architects. The “Arakishvili” apartment is situated in a crowded area in Tbilisi’s center. From the apartment’s windows, one can see and hear the city’s constant noise and the beat of its fast-paced lifestyle. In order to prevent the cozy atmosphere of the space from being disturbed by the rhythm of the city, the concept and textures of the interior were created. Reflective metal, natural wood, and white surfaces can be found in the major living areas like the kitchen and living room. Aluminum-stained glass separates the living room from the kitchen, and the primary wall of the room’s white painted building blocks provides a dynamic backdrop for the furniture and other decorative elements. The primary living spaces, including the kitchen and living room, use reflecting metal, real wood, and white surfaces.

Aluminum-stained glass separates the living room from the kitchen, and the texture of the white-painted building blocks on the main wall of the space’s focal point creates a dynamic backdrop for the furniture and other decorative items. The bedroom is opposite the communal areas and has a more somber color scheme. A contrast is offered by the bathroom’s glass block wall. The textures of walnut wood have been employed in the bedroom to create a more intense, dark mood, while the bathroom features the dark, rich textures of natural marble, which are contrasted by a floor made of geometric ceramic tiles. The majority of the furniture is custom-made. The sturdy console by Nana Zaalishvili, called “Element,” is prominent in the foyer, and the living room’s bench, called “Brick,” and bedroom’s side table, called “Brick,” are both made of solid walnut. The stores &Tradition, Luis Poulsen, Flos, and Element are used to choose the lights.
