About Family Hotel Art

Abastumani és un balneari a Geòrgia. En el passat hi havia una fortalesa històrica. A part de les ruïnes dels antics castells, no queda gaire cosa més. No obstant això, hi ha ruïnes de diversos llocs històrics que daten del segle XIX, incloent-hi l'emplaçament d'un edifici antic, amb la seva arquitectura expressada en forma d'un edifici senzill d'una sola planta. A causa de la importància històrica de l'edifici, es va decidir preservar algunes parts de les ruïnes durant la fase de reconstrucció, afegint un toc modern amb materials delicats i vitralls.

Production Technology: In addition, due to the limited allowance to the building and the scarcity of land, there is a plan proposed by our client for a small family-owned hotel with a common dining area and several terraces. It is noteworthy that the side of the stained glass overlooks Abastumani forest, owning its existence to it and creating vast space in the interior with modern fireplace.
