Apart-hotel / 2022 / Almaty

Apart Hotel Almaty is a contemporary residential hospitality project located in the southern district of Almaty, near the foothills of the mountains. The building combines the flexibility of short-term living with the comfort of home-like privacy.The concept was born from a simple question: what if temporary living didn’t feel temporary at all? The architecture invites a sense of stillness, care, and belonging — a space for travelers to feel grounded, not just accommodated

The building’s orientation and structure are shaped by the natural rhythm of its environment — from sunrise light in the rooms to shaded communal terraces in the afternoon. Every decision is rooted in the site. The façade plays with texture and transparency: a calm palette of raw concrete, natural wood, and deep-frame glazing. The balance between openness and privacy allows each unit to feel both connected and protected

Apartments are organized as modular, self-contained spaces — efficient yet spacious. Each unit is designed with long-term comfort in mind: natural ventilation, generous daylight, and warm, tactile materials.Communal areas such as the lobby, shared kitchen lounge, and rooftop terrace foster interaction without pressure. Guests can choose when to retreat and when to connect — just like at home.

Architecturally, the building reads as quiet but confident. It doesn’t impose itself on the landscape; it aligns with it. The massing respects surrounding scale while still creating a unique architectural signature.From the earliest sketches, sustainability was a central theme. The design includes passive solar strategies, high insulation standards, and material selections that prioritize longevity and low maintenance

Apart Hotel Almaty reflects a broader vision: to rethink temporary architecture as something soulful and enduring. It is both a shelter and an experience — designed for people, not just occupants.This project continues Guma Concept’s commitment to human-centered design, where architecture is not just about form, but about feeling, memory, and meaning.
