Villa 3 Community Hub, Armenia

Territory development company Green Rock, together with architectural studio IND, has developed the interior design concept for Villa 3 — a community hub and coworking space located in Dilijan, Armenia. The project is scheduled for completion in 2026.

Dilijan is a small mountain town surrounded by dense forests and national park landscapes, long known as a wellness and cultural destination. For many years, the city remained largely unchanged, which gradually limited opportunities for professional growth, education, and contemporary forms of work. To address these challenges, Green Rock launched a long-term development initiative aimed at creating new conditions for living, working, and learning. The project brings together a hotel, music hall, coworking spaces, café, residential campus, and public art park into a single integrated environment, and is expected to generate around 800 new jobs.

Villa 3 is a key public element within this complex, conceived as a community hub that supports work, education, and creative exchange while serving as a social anchor for residents, entrepreneurs, digital nomads, and visitors.

Design Concept

The community hub is organized across three levels, accommodating open coworking areas, collaboration and meeting rooms, lounge spaces, and a lecture hall, while the upper floor extends the program into a rooftop lounge and terrace overlooking the surrounding forest. Flexible fabric partitions are used to create more intimate, stage-like spatial settings, allowing the interior to be easily reconfigured in response to different functional scenarios.

Minimalism was chosen as a conscious design approach that emphasizes the relationship between the interior and its natural surroundings. Rather than competing with Dilijan’s dense forests and mountainous landscape, the restrained aesthetic allows the surrounding nature to remain the primary visual focus. Soft beige tones, natural wood, clay tiles, ceramics, and textured concrete form a calm, neutral backdrop, while deep blue accents introduce rhythm and a clear spatial identity without overpowering the environment.

One of the key challenges was to integrate the historical context with contemporary functionality. It was essential to preserve the atmosphere of the place, inspired by villa architecture, while creating a flexible, technology-driven environment that meets the needs of a modern coworking space, says Julia Parfenova, Head of Interior Design at IND.

The defining visual element of the interior is a sculptural blue fireplace with a biomorphic form, made from recycled plastic. Positioned as the social heart of the hub, it functions both as a gathering point and as a symbolic statement about sustainability and contemporary material experimentation.

Flexibility and multifunctionality lie at the core of the design concept. The interior layout is organized to support continuous transformation: open collaboration areas can easily shift into event or lecture formats, meeting rooms vary in scale, and lounge zones transition seamlessly between informal work and social interaction. Modular furniture systems, mobile partitions, and soft textile dividers allow the space to adapt to different scenarios throughout the day — from focused individual work to large community gatherings.
Special attention was also given to acoustic comfort, particularly in open-plan areas. Carefully integrated acoustic solutions and live plants enhance both sound quality and the indoor microclimate, strengthening the connection between interior spaces and the surrounding natural landscape.
