Giorgi Khmaladze Architects has designed a coffee production plant with offices and a cafe in Georgia.

All programmes have been arranged in a continuous unobstructed space, with glass partitions as boundaries in between.

From the highway, the building is a homogeneous concrete folded volume with no visible openings; on the back side it opens up towards the pine forest.

From above, it blends into its surroundings by a vast green roof, where occasional openings in forms of atriums, terraces and skylights bring natural light indoors. This reduces an impact of a large building footprint visible from the planes taking off and landing at the airport close to the site.

This project has been longlisted in the business building category of Dezeen Awards 2020.
