ArchDaily Best Building of 2022 Nominee

Tsiskvili Restaurant Complex Nominated for ArchDaily’s 2022 Building of the Year

The Tsiskvili Restaurant Complex has been nominated for one of the world’s most prestigious architectural awards – ArchDaily’s 2022 Building of the Year.

The Tsiskvili Restaurant Complex is one of the landmark projects of Studio 9, led by chief architect Mamuka Chkhaidze.

Located in Tbilisi on A. Beliashvili Street, along the Mtkvari River, the complex covers 6,607 m². Construction began in 2002, on the site of an actual small watermill on the riverbank.

Tsiskvili represents a dialogue between history and modernity, expressed through architecture. The concept integrates landscape, exterior, interior, and courtyards into one unified whole. From the outside, you perceive the inside — and vice versa. Within this museum-restaurant, traditional and modern materials alternate to create a complete architectural narrative. Every detail of the complex reinforces this creative vision.

In addition to ArchDaily’s award, the project has also been nominated for the European Union Prize for Contemporary Architecture – Mies van der Rohe Award 2022.

The recognition of Tsiskvili as an outstanding architectural project is significant not only for the business and its author but also for Georgia’s entire HoReCa sector.
