MALOUISA

Shopping Centre and Offices on Maria Louisa Blvd, Sofia.

Maria Louisa Shopping Centre and Offices is located on a busy Sofia boulevard in the area of the Central Railway Station and is developed on the basis of an existing 1212 edifice, listed as a Monument of Culture with regional status. The project has evolved around a specific design strategy that allowed: a) to demount the historic building, b) To rebuild the modern structure of the complex, preserving its original configuration, and c) to “mask” the new edifice with a recovered historic façade that preserves the boulevard scenography. Since the new building space structure is distanced from the reconstructed historic façade, the latter works as independent “street face” separated from the building at 3.6 m, which allows the modern building floor levels to be free of the historic edifice floor articulations, and of the original façade. The resulting space layer is a buffer zone between the modern and the historic. The complex includes shopping spaces, storage areas, and public services as well as 5 floors of offices. The building project constructed in 2012 has been awarded with the Building of the Year National Prize for 2013.
