The Design
About Dot Sofia Eventraum, Wunngebai
Dot Sofia ass e Gebai mat gemëschter Notzung fir Evenementer an urbant Wunnen zu Sofia, Bulgarien. D'Struktur mat zwee Volumen enthält e zäitgenëssesche Konscht- an Eventraum, e Signature-Restaurant a Wunneinheeten. Dot Sofia steet am historeschen Maartveedel, enger Géigend, déi laang mat Handel verbonne war a wärend de leschte Joerzéngten vernoléissegt gouf. D'Fassad besteet aus rostegem Stol an erënnert un d'gealtert Materialitéit vum Quartier. Iwwerdimensionéiert Lueden ginn opgemaach a zougemaach, dem Rhythmus vum Maartliewen no. D'Gebai gouf am Joer 2023 fäerdeggestallt an huet eng brutto Geschossfläch vun 1576 Quadratmeter.

- Unique Properties
- Embedded in the urban complexity of the biggest street market in Sofia the simple two volume structure of DOT Sofia building manifests unexpected different faces and scales from the possible viewpoints. The hybrid program of intertwined contemporary art and events space; signature restaurant and design urban living are injected in the rather neglected historic heart of the city with the clear ambition to redirect its inevitable transformation. The rusted steel facade preserves the characteristic aged materiality of the area while the dynamics of the oversized shutters follow the rhythm of the market life.
