New York, NY -- (SBWIRE) -- 02/11/2015 -- Architecture is an alchemical blend of art, science, engineering and design, and is responsible for conceptualizing all the living spaces we find in the modern world. In the 21st century, aesthetic has continued to evolve and be influenced by environmental awareness, efficiency and harmony with the surrounding environment. Vatinyan Designs has been at the cutting edge of modern architecture for over twenty years, and has done so while maintaining a family ethos. Diana Vatinyan founded a new firm, taking on the mantle of her father's company in 2010, and has been awarded a MosBuild Architecture and Design Award for her latest hotel in Armenia.

Vatinyan Designs' hotel was designed to mimic a natural split of rock within the landscape, with turf roofing and seven floors fitting the natural contours of the landscape, the hotel includes all hotel rooms and amenities together with a fitness centre, restaurants and spa. The hotel will undoubtedly contribute to Dilijan's growing eco-tourism market.

The award was given by MosBuild for "Best Sustainable Architecture Project" among young architects. The news of the award was first broken on the Vatinyan Designs Twitter page, but has since been covered extensively in the MosBuild magazine, including images of the site and a detailed breakdown of the panel's reasons for the award.

A spokesperson for Vatinyan Designs explained, "We are thrilled that MosBuild has seen fit to award Diana with the award for best sustainable architecture project. Sustainable architecture is something that Diana is passionate about, and its principles are those that guide her design work across contexts, so recognition in this category has been especially welcome. We would like to thank the panel at MosBuild for this recognition and our Dilijani clients for their support and assistance in bringing this project to life. We hope the design will help attract more people to Armenia so they can experience its natural wonders without sacrificing comfort and amenities."
