Laboratory of Architecture #3 is an architecture studio based in Tbilisi, Georgia, founded in 2006. The practice operates as a collaborative platform of architects and designers, engaging with projects that explore both the practical and expressive dimensions of architecture.

Led by founders Dimitri Shapakidze and Irakli Abashidze, the studio approaches design as a process of investigation—where each project responds to its physical, cultural, and urban context. Their work reflects a careful balance between functionality and spatial clarity, while also embracing architectural expression as a tool for storytelling.

Working across residential, commercial, and public projects, Laboratory of Architecture #3 develops architecture that is rooted in place yet contemporary in form. The studio often engages with complex sites and historical environments, creating interventions that reinterpret local identity while introducing new spatial narratives.

Through a combination of research, design experimentation, and built work, the studio positions architecture as both a technical discipline and a cultural act—one that shapes how people experience space, context, and the evolving fabric of the city.
