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.
Dimensions & Packaging: Gross Floor Area: 1576 m²;
Plot Area: 338 m²

Inspiration: DOT Sofia is located in the heart of old Sofia. This historic part of the city has been home to trade and markets for centuries.
