BOTEV

Office centre and shopping space, H.Botev Blvd, Sofia, 2008-2010

A commercial and office centre at the corner of Hristo Botev Blv. with Kiril and Metodi Str., consists of 5 floors’ office spaces, put above three storeys of shopping space, including one on a sub terrain level. The corner position at two dynamic flows with different intensity, as well as cubic shape of the building volume, presupposes different vertical articulations of its facades. The one towards the smaller street is folded vertically to produce a smaller scale, perceived from a shorter distance. The other looking towards the boulevard space, is blank and simple. The window system of the ventilated Swiss Pearl facade is patterned as an exaggerated “brickwall”. This pattern of the building skin, when dressing the building shape, allows a complex and unpredictable play to the side façade, and a simplistic, minimalistic expression to the bigger space of the boulevard side.
The roof office is topped with a self-contained headquarter offices and a penthouse, on the pedestal of the
building body. The total floor area of the complex is 5000 sq.m.
