Design Challenge
RR is a winner in private competition of the investor between 4 studios in the country that are leaders in high-rise buildings. The biggest challenge was to meet all developer's requirements and detailed program for premium residential building.
Research
RR's concept is a play between urban and geographical context and design morphology concept called moire effect. In order to achieve higher visual impact and height impression, the effect is used over the slab and handrail thicknesses thorough the whole height of the building.
Inspiration
The urban typology of Plovdiv is a unique collection of various natural assets and geographical location that is one of the main reasons for its millennial history. Maritsa River is simultaneously unifying and inserting dynamism in the urban texture.

This symbiosis translates into the concept of Royal River where is a main protagonist in the facade design, applied materials and the corporate identity of the project, which is allows it to acquire its own identity on all levels.
Project Duration
The design phase of the project started in 2021. The location is in city of Plovdiv, Bulgaria.
Operation Flow
The project stands out in the context as the second highest building in the city. Its location on the green axis connecting the Rowing Canal and Bunardzhika Hill of Plovdiv makes it a definite landmark in the surroundings.

The approach for using minimal building footprint allows to create vast green park around it. A few social and recreational spots are created through the landscape design and introducing several hills achieved by ground shaping. They are allowing more privacy for the occupants from the busy boulevard creating visual and noise barrier.
