Business Center
In Marjanishvili Street, by the side of the theater,
there stands a house, built in the 1910s. The project
of this construction – a mixture of pseudo-Renaissance
and pseudo-Classicist styles – was designed by architect
Leopold Bilfeld for Ms. Eprosine Martinovskaia, the
daughter of Swedish vice-consul in Caucasus.
During the Soviet time, the house was used for
administrative purposes. In 2005, it was purchased by
GRDC Group, reconstructed, expanded and opened
under the name of Green Building. Reconstruction of
the building and construction of a new wing was con-
ducted with the help of British, American, Dutch and
Georgian investors.
The project of reconstruction / extension was
designed by architects Levan Mushkudiani and Gaga
Kiknadze; construction works implemented by construction
company NCC.
In their customary professional manner, architects
transformed the exterior of the time-worn building and
found a design solution, allowing to integrate its longterm
history with current functions.
Façade and interior of the old building retain the

aesthetics of classicist style (with certain elements of
modern interpretation showing up in interior design),
while its new wing forms a pleasant contrast with the
‘elder’ counterpart.
Having adapted a historical building to the presentday
reality, GRDC created a state-of-art business-center
with the total area of 3000 sq.m. Flexibility and elegance
of design render its interior space highly expressive and
functional, and form a comfortable, businesslike atmosphere,
fully corresponding to the purpose of the building.
