Batumi, GE, April 20, 2011 -- OpenAire’s newest international project will soon op
en in the Republic of Georgia. OpenAire has designed, manufactured and installed
a spectacular retractable roof enclosure to cover an Olympic-size rooftop swimm
ing pool, aptly named “Skypool,” which will be a key part of Batumi Plaza, an ultra-
luxurious landmark development opening in the coastal city of Batumi.
Designed by renowned Georgian architect Zakaria Kurdiani, Batumi Plaza is a mass
ive six-storey facility with a high-end shopping mall, a multiplex cinema, resta
urants, offices, conference facilities, and a 53-room, 5-star hotel. Topping it
all off is Skypool, a showpiece swimming facility with a retractable enclosure t
hat opens up 45%, offering swimmers sunlight, fresh air, and incredible views of
the picturesque Black Sea.
The enclosure measures 117’ (34m) x 199’ (60.5m), and is 26’ (8m) tall at its highest
point. It features glazed gable ends, one with operable folding doors, and bi-pa
rting roof panels that open in good weather to let in sunshine and fresh air, an
d close on cold or rainy days to provide natural light in a protected environmen
t.
“Batumi Plaza chose us for our expertise with aquatic applications, and for our ex
tensive international experience with projects across North America, Europe, Eas
tern Europe, and the Middle East,” says Mark Albertine, President, OpenAire. “We hav

sers the best of all worlds; natural light every day, fresh air when it’s warm out
, protection from the elements when it’s not – and the ultra-luxurious look and feel
that international buyers and developers are increasingly demanding.
