VR Tower Tbilisi

A skyscraper with 53 storeys and six underground floors is being built in Tbilisi. Werner Sobek is responsible for the facade design of this pioneering VR Vake Skyview Tower project by NS Studio. The approximately 180 m high tower with its striking double façade of glass and aluminium will redefine the skyline of Georgia’s capital.

On the ground floor of the VR Vake Skyview Tower is a 115 m wide and 20 m high podium building, also with a fully glazed façade.

Striking and Sustainable: Double Glass Facade

The glass facade is one of the most important architectural features of the building – it ensures the seamless aesthetic unity of the tower and podium. For the first time in Georgia, a double ventilated façadeis being used to act as a barrier against extreme temperatures, wind and noise. The double façade also contributes to the sustainability of the building by increasing energy efficiency and significantly improving indoor comfort.

The roofs of the tower and podium will be completely greened to make a natural contribution to regulating the microclimate.
