Interview with Irakli Emiridze

I founded Alpha Architecture in 2018, while completing my final year at university, at the age of 21. As a professional architect, my goal from the beginning was to establish a strong architectural
firm focused on diverse and innovative projects.

In my opinion, design is a building that harmoniously blends into its intended environment.

As I already mentioned, my goal from the beginning was to establish a strong architectural
firm focused on diverse and innovative projects. I have worked on a wide range of buildings,
including skyscrapers, cultural heritage sites, landmarks, residential complexes, hotels, and
branded hospitality developments.

Every design has its own special and unique qualities, but at this moment, the Chess Palace is my favorite architectural project. It’s located in my hometown, Batumi, and represents as a cultural center of my country, Georgia.

Salibauri Hills was my first project, a residential complex masterplanned on a two-hectare hillside site, designed to integrate with the natural topography.

It depends on the building’s concept. We don’t have a specific favorite material.

I feel most creative during the conceptual design phase, when I’m defining the project's spatial narrative, establishing its identity, and translating abstract ideas into architectural form.

Each discipline plays a vital role in shaping the overall project design — including architecture, structure, MEP engineering, and visual design — to ensure a comprehensive and well-integrated result. It’s important to give careful attention to each aspect throughout the process.

Creating something new from nothing is the best feeling. You create a building that will last at least a century.

A design is successful when it balances functionality, aesthetics, and context

If the building is harmoniously integrated with the environment and suits its surrounding area.

The key is to achieve harmony between architecture and nature, ensuring the design remains contextually integrated and does not disrupt its surroundings.

My priority is to incorporate rich architectural detail into every project. Each design is tailored to its specific context and the unique needs of both the client and the site. I always consider the character of the location, surroundings, if there is any historical context, I take that into account as well.

Also, one of the defining aspects of my approach is creating a unique architectural identity for each development. Our architectural design gives each development distinctive style, and clients appreciate this deeply.

We are projecting skyscrapers, cultural heritage sites, residential complexes, hotels, and branded hospitality developments, each requiring different rules and approaches. We deliver complete architectural packages: full plans, technical documentation, construction details, and geological studies. When we hand over a project, it is fully ready for construction, nothing else is needed.

Vision and working ethic, professionalism

That's the inspiration

When I made development project for my company, which I am building, I even better understood every step and every rule

Leading Developments as: Alliance, Gumbati Group, Tower Group, Next, Cartu

As a professional architect, my goal from the beginning was to establish a strong architectural
firm focused on diverse and innovative projects and work globally

I develop design my myself

We have many ongoing projects, and one of my favorites is a food court located in the historic area of Tbilisi. I find it particularly interesting due to its location and aesthetic character.
