The Sky Beach

Reconstructing a ridge in Sighnaghi

Heavy equipment operators are busy at the Sighnaghi Panorama Hotel. Ruderal designed the 4.8-hectare landscape as a series of landscape gardens and features for hotel guests. The project involves the complete reconstruction of the ridge’s topography after the demolition of the former Hotel Amiran.

The Sky Beach in progress, as seen from the hotel ballroom. The promenade will be lined with an allele of linden trees and the landform will be turf.

Currently, workers are constructing the backbone of The Sky Beach, a sweeping landform that descends the Nukriani Ridge from the hotel, and features views towards the southeast Alazani Valley. This segment of the ridge was, until recently, covered in rubble and blackberry canes.

Ben Hackenberger designed the landform using Grasshopper.
