Paata and Keti Kurdiani
Kurdiani Architects is an architecture practice in Tbilisi, Georgia.
Over four decades the studio has worked at every scale of building — private villas and interiors, hotels and restaurants, embassies and ambassadors' residences, cultural buildings, offices, and large residential complexes — almost all of it built in Georgia.
Paata Kurdiani
Chief Architect
Paata Kurdiani graduated from the Architectural Faculty of Tbilisi Polytechnic University in 1984, and spent the following six years at the Head Office for the Protection of Cultural Heritage of Georgia, working on the reconstruction of the historical centre of Tbilisi.
From 1990 to 1993 he collaborated with the architect Kurt Hoffman in Lausanne, Switzerland, on a business centre and hotel in Batumi and a hotel in Tbilisi. Back in Georgia, between 1994 and 1997, he carried out the arrangement of the embassies of the European Union, Great Britain and Greece together with residences for their ambassadors and senior diplomats, and an office attached to the United States Embassy.
Since 1998 the practice has built private villas and apartments across Tbilisi, Tsavkisi, Tskneti, Saguramo, Manglisi and Krtsanisi, alongside commercial and public commissions — bank and company offices, the interiors of the cabinet, reception and meeting room of the Chairman of the Parliament of Georgia, and, increasingly, hotels and large residential buildings.
He works in Georgian, Russian and English.
