Cave houses in Imerovigli

  This property is a characteristic example of contemporary architecture, in which integration with the natural landscape and the utilization of the site's distinctive topographical features constitute fundamental design principles. The architectural composition is developed across multiple levels, embedded into the hillside, minimizing the visual impact on the surrounding environment while largely preserving the natural morphology of the terrain. The building volumes are characterized by clean geometric lines, low profiles, and horizontal layouts, while the use of natural materials, such as local stone, exposed concrete, and timber, establishes a harmonious relationship between the built structure and its natural surroundings. At the same time, large openings and covered outdoor spaces strengthen the connection between interior and exterior areas, providing natural lighting, visual continuity with the landscape, and opportunities for outdoor use. Particular emphasis is placed on the design of access routes through stone retaining walls, staircases, and pathways, which organize circulation while following the natural slope of the terrain. Furthermore, the incorporation of the site's existing vegetation into the surrounding landscape design.
