Black Sea Apartments


Vlas, Bulgaria

Description: 12 holiday apartments and a swimming pool.
Surface: 800 m²
Client: Private investor
Conception: 2005
Completion: August 2008









































 


 The building is situated on a highly inclined parcel of 340 sq.m. on Rusalka Street in Saint Vlas. The footprint is 120 sq.m., and GDA is 815 sq.м. It consists of six floors, in which are situated twelve apartments. They all have exceptional panoramic view southwest to the sea and the Bay of Nessebar and northeast to the wood and the mountain ‘Stara Planina’. The entrance is located on the third level from the park. The staircase is in the core of the building and has Atrium skylight.
The architecture of the building is inspired by the traditional Bulgarian house of Nessebar and thus the cladding is of stone and wood. These materials are in harmony with nature and create perfect conditions for holiday. As a style the facades are contemporary and in this way are avoided the clichés in interpretation in the Bulgarian architectural tradition. In this sense the building is innovating and can serve as an example for the architecture on the Black Sea coast.
The building is ecologically friendly and its high standards of insulation are in harmony with the requirements of sustainable development.
