The medieval towers of Svanetia are given a contemporary counterpart, with which the new police station embodies the reformed agenda architecturally as well.

The project is situated in the heart of the old town of Mestia, next to the newly built city-hall. Its tower-like shape pays homage to the medieval stone towers that are traditional for Mestia’s mountainside region. The façade is comprised of prefabricated textured concrete and large openings which offer a maximum of transparency.
