Contemporary Architecture in Batumi – Rain Tower

The Rain Tower is an example of modern architecture. It is situated in the heart of Batumi. The name of the building is not just a coincidence. The designers drew inspiration from raindrops. The architectural concept of the building is 'Biomorphic Architecture,' which incorporates natural elements into the design process.

Biophilic Architecture

Rain is one of the natural phenomena characteristic of subtropical cities. There are many hidden or overt messages embedded in the building as a whole, and each person may interpret them differently. The building consists of a base and a tower. The base is a 6-story rectangular volume, which merges proportionally with the tower in a cohesive design. Stylistically, it is a modern building, though its proportions and the arrangement of the architectural design on the facade planes are reminiscent of classical architecture.

Functionality

The tower section of the building is divided into three volumes, with the total structure featuring three-story, narrowed sections that visually distinguish themselves. Each volume serves a specific function.
