House in Sori
Project Information
2023 COMPLETED 1,500 M² (16,146 SQ FT) SORI VILLAGE, ONI MUNICIPALITY, RACHA-LECHKHUMI AND KVEMO SVANETI, GEORGIA
Set within the mountainous landscape of Racha-Lechkhumi and Kvemo Svaneti, House in Sori is a private residence conceived in close relationship with its rural setting. Located in the village of Sori, the project offers a contemporary interpretation of countryside living while remaining attentive to the scale, atmosphere and character of its surroundings.
The 1,500 m² residence was designed as a place of retreat—one that balances generous living spaces with privacy, comfort and a strong connection to nature. Its architectural composition is shaped by the dialogue between the house and the landscape, allowing the changing seasons, natural light and views to become an integral part of everyday life.
Developed over several years, the project reflects a careful and considered design process. The extended timeline allowed the architectural concept to evolve gradually, with close attention given to proportion, spatial relationships and the experience of moving through the house.
Rather than treating the building as an isolated object, the design establishes a measured presence within its setting. The residence is conceived as a calm framework for family life—contemporary in expression, yet grounded in the identity and natural character of Sori.
Completed in 2023, House in Sori represents Studio DesignBureau’s approach to residential architecture: site-sensitive, restrained and shaped around the individual lives of its occupants.
