Apart from the ruins of the old castles, there is not much to hold on to. However, there are ruins of several historical sites dating back to 19th century, including the site of an old building, with its architecture expressed in the form of a single-story simple building.

RESEARCH ABSTRACT: Abastumani is 260 km away from the capital of Tbilisi. Abastumani is regarded as a moderately dry resort. Abastumani is known for its healing climate and sulfur waters. Abastumani is considered as a balneological resort due to its thermal waters. However, there are ruins of several historical sites dating back to 19th century, including the site of an old Bossel, with its architecture expressed in the form of a single-storey simple building.
CHALLENGE: One part of the building today is in ruins, while maintaining the other part obsolete. Due to its historical significance we decided to preserve some parts of the ruins during the reconstruction stage, adding modern touch with delicate materials and stained glass. Similar reconstructions had been recognized throughout the world as the most effective form for merging ancient and modern architecture creating contrasting characteristics of different times. Furthermore, it should be noted that the reconstruction project involves the addition of a second floor exposing ancient Georgian architecture with its distinguished balconies.
