Batumi, Egnate Ninoshvili Street N7 / Konstantine Gamsakhurdia Street N1
Brief Description:
This large three-story residential house was constructed in 1951 and is located at the corner of two streets. The building’s long façade faces Konstantine Gamsakhurdia Street, while the shorter side faces Egnate Ninoshvili Street. The corner of the building is cut back at a semicircular angle, creating an interesting architectural feature.
The main façade follows the rounded profile of the building, with a high mezzanine on this section, which integrates into the overall façade design. The second floor has a concrete balcony with decorative urns at the corners. On the third floor, there is one concrete balcony in the middle and two metal balconies on either side. The alternating rhythm of metal and concrete balconies continues on other façades.
The mezzanine section features three large glazed openings, separated by Corinthian columns. These columns are attached to high pilasters that flank the central balconies on both the second and third floors, a motif that is repeated on the side façades as well.
The building s decorative frieze features carved plant motifs, and the overall design includes plain cornices. The balconies have carved decorative elements on their railings and consoles, and the window and door frames are also intricately detailed.
This building is a good example of Soviet-era residential architecture and holds architectural significance in Batumi.
