BY IA:AB · PLOT C3
Irakli Abashidze is an architect, co-founder of Laboratory of Architecture #3 and founder of IA:AB, the Irakli Abashidze Architectural Bureau in Tbilisi. The bureau’s work connects Georgia’s cultural and spatial identity with contemporary design principles, responding to both urban and rural settings while keeping a clear link to Georgian architectural character. Its projects balance innovation, practicality and respect for place.
Contemporary architecture rooted in Georgian identity. The villa is organised around a planted courtyard at its centre, so rooms on both levels look into a quiet inner landscape and out to the lake.
From the street the house shows a closed concrete wall under a thin, projecting roof plane. A tall glazed entrance opens straight onto the courtyard tree, and the car court sits under the roof overhang, keeping arrival sheltered and the garden side free for living.
The entrance level holds three bedroom suites, the entrance hall and a two-car parking court. The garden level below holds the open living and dining space, the kitchen, a study and a guest bedroom, all opening onto 165 m² of terraces and the pool.
A few materials in their natural finish: exposed concrete walls that carry the house into the slope, thin brushed-metal roof planes over the glazing and the car court, full-height glazing in slim frames, timber screens and decking on the terraces, and dry meadow grasses that bring the hillside up to the walls.
Villa Specchio sits on plot C3 in the lower block of the masterplan, close to the entrance of The Lake.
