The apartment is situated on the first floor of an old building in the Sofia city centre. The main aim of the interior project was to maximise the intake of natural light inside the rooms and to create comfortable contemporary living conditions. The vestibule was enlarged at the expense of a small utilities room, while the former kitchen was transformed into a wardrobe room.
SFS Residence (Sea Forest Stone) is situated in “Chaika” residential area, 50m from The Black Sea in a plot with considerable west to east downhill in virgin landscape, with valuable tree species and natural rock formations. The biggest challenge was to design contemporary, organic building which fits easily in the context of the environment. To look light, airy and unobtrusive, to work with all the elements of the landscape without dominating itself.
Located in an environment that lacked strong marks, the Metro Station 20 should be a signal, a structural element of the landscape, it must be at its scale. We have designed a structure that is both generous and sensual, with a glass volume curves embracing the ground and reaching the underground platform level by penetrating light and vegetation. The structure consists of 27 metal arches on a plot of 4,00 m, of variable height and width, starting from the rail level. The height varies between 19 and 24 m and the width between 17,80 m et 30 m. They are connected by a secondary structure of metal tubes that support the triangular glass panels. This structure also supports the road that enters into the glass volume and will form a bridge of 105 m length suspended from the metal structure. In its central part, this bridge will be slightly curved to give greater height above the access platform.
About the Design:
\”Here I am Architect\” is a home office of a young architect who is in the beginning of his career. The concept of the space is inspired by the idea of sketching – where a few lines create a whole world.
They were neighbors. They fell in love. As their love grew, so did their need for a larger apartment. So they decided to unite heir two places into one. The idea was to bring together not only the living space, but also their lifestyles.
OVA Studio entered this open competition for the design of station 20 of Sofia new underground system.
Our design option proposed to escape from the tunnel like feeling of many underground stations by providing a vortex mesh vault that acted as both a structural element but also as signalization and information display. one of the challenges was to bring light from the street down to the concourse and ultimately to the platform levels.
Atrium House is situated in Malinovadolina area of Sofia city. The plot is richly forest with trees,the most valuable are several conifers. Leading in design is the clients’ and architect’s wish to preserve maximum trees. Two fir trees and a pine tree, located in the middle of the property became the center of the house- an atrium, around witch the planning is designed.

The purpose of the architectural project is to observe and visualize the potential of the property where the Medical University of Varna is situated. The need for new functional areas and aesthetic norms missing in the current building designed and built not for medical school is the heart of this research. The building of the Medical University of Varna is situated in an urban residential area in a square between Tsar Asen Str., General Gurko Str., Marin Drinov Str. And Ivan Aksakov Str. in the vicinity to a park area.
