Mtatsminda Foodcourt

The Mtatsminda project, built in the heart of one of Tbilisi’s most beloved public spaces, is a striking addition to Mtatsminda Park. Designed to blend with the park’s natural beauty, the building elevates both aesthetics and functionality in a challenging environment.

The project faced the challenge of working within an active public park, requiring strict adherence to safety, movement, and environmental considerations. Studio 9 employed high-durability materials such as aluminum profiles, laminated glass, and dynamic facade panels that allow the building to change its appearance throughout the day.

With a focus on creating an open and airy space, the design draws inspiration from historical images of Mtatsminda, while offering a modern interpretation. The building’s silhouette feels familiar from afar but surprises with contemporary details up close. Large glazing ensures an abundance of natural light, enhancing the overall transparency of the structure and maintaining a visual connection to the surrounding landscape.

One of the standout features is the building’s integration with the pine landscape, preserving the natural beauty of the area while offering a functional, year-round public space. The project utilizes durable materials that can withstand extreme weather conditions, ensuring the building’s longevity and the comfort of its users.
