Batumi, Memed Abashidze St. N11
Brief Description of the Building:
This two-story building was likely constructed in the early 20th century. The first floor is divided by wide rectangular openings. Compared to the first floor, the second floor is more decoratively designed. The façade on this level is symmetrically divided, with the central part consisting of four window and door openings, each framed by profiled lintels. Above these, ornamental corbels with plant motifs support the architrave.
In the center of this section, there is a balcony with a wrought-iron railing and a decorative canopy. The central part of the façade and the corner sections of the building are divided by rectangular openings, each decorated with ornamental details. Specifically, the openings are flanked by two canelured pilasters, topped with Ionic capitals. These pilasters are united by a profiled frieze with a relief depicting rays of the sun in an oval shape beneath them.
This type of portal is set between rusticated pilasters. The building stands out for its intriguing façade design, excellent construction technique, and harmonious proportions, fitting well into the surrounding street architecture.
