Batumi, Rustaveli Street No. 31
Brief description of the monument:
This two-story house, built at the beginning of the 20th century, was the property of Timoleon Triantafillidis, a Greek doctor who studied in Greece and France. He lived here with his wife, Dr. Vera Koltliarskaya, a medical doctor. Together, they made significant contributions to improving the medical and sanitary conditions in Adjara and to climatological research.
Located separately from other buildings and surrounded by a metal fence, the main façade of the building is painted pink, with architectural details highlighted in white. The rectangular openings are topped with sandricks, with rusticated imitations on the central walls. The building also features classical details, such as a horizontal belt separating the floors, as well as metopes and triglyphs in the cornice, all drawn from the classical architectural repertoire.
A grand staircase, leading to a portico at the first floor of the risalit, is positioned at the front of the building. Above the staircase and portico, a curved balcony and other individual architectural elements give the building a touch of Art Nouveau style. Both the mansard and the rear block, which is open with balconies, are later additions that align reasonably well with the historical structure.
This villa-type residence is one of the standout buildings in Batumi, notable for its unique architectural features and historical significance.
