Within the immensity of its 40,000 establishments around the world, this fast food restaurant is considered one of the most beautiful of the American chain. Located in Batumi (Georgia), on the Black Sea coast, this McDonald’s stands out for the design and elegance of its modernist architecture. One that transcends its original aesthetic identity characterized by the austerity of brick, red and yellow.

The city where this McDonald’s is located is known as one of the world’s major tourist destinations for its beaches, its promenade and its 19th century buildings. A whole series of favorable factors that lead visitors to frequent this eye-catching reflective glass establishment.

Giorgi Khmaladze was the architect who conceived in 2013 this minimalist construction effidicated on a gas station, which was awarded in 2014 for best commercial building by ArchDaily.

From the lamps to the interior furnishings of this restaurant have a neutral black and white design that coexists with wooden elements and glass stairs that are reflected in the glass walls. A whole structure that lets in the glare and flashes of natural light, as well as those of twilight at dusk. If we go outside the building, we can see how it is surrounded by manicured lawns, which in spring is transformed and / or becomes a gallery of flowers to appreciate live from the inside.
