Azatutyun Multifunctional Complex

Initiated in 2021, the “AZATUTYUN” residential complex emerged from the client’s desire to revitalize a neglected urban site and contribute meaningfully to Yerevan’s architectural identity. The site’s former use as a defunct reservoir presented both challenges and opportunities. From the outset, the client emphasized contextual sensitivity, integration with the Soviet modernist heritage of Azatutyun Avenue, and creating a livable, sustainable environment. Community impact includes increased public space, improved urban density, and a revitalized streetscape that fosters a sense of continuity and renewal. The landscaped courtyard and public functions further support social interaction and cultural expression. The project has set a new benchmark in blending historic layers with contemporary needs, and has been positively received by residents, neighboring institutions, and the broader public.
