HORO
Residential building with a sophisticated vision and strict elegance
Residential building HORO is located in one of the most sought-after districts of Sofia – Ovcha Kupel. It stands on Narodno Horo Str., close to Montevideo Blvd., New Bulgarian University, a number of healthcare facilities, Kukuryak Park, green spaces, public transport stops and the third metro line. This makes the property attractive and well suited to modern city life. The main access to the building is from the north, along Narodno Horo Str.
The metaphor of a "green meadow" is used skilfully as the main idea behind the materials of the exterior. The base of the facade is finished in an olive-green shade, inspired by the freshness of the greenery. The accent colour of the slats and window frames is taken from the trees and shrubs of the "green meadow", while horizontal granite slabs in a soft brown tone, placed rhythmically across the facade, recall the rock formations and stone groups in the meadow. The materials give the building a sense of restrained elegance and sophistication, and their quality ensures a long life, easy maintenance and low energy costs. The selected materials and colours fit well into the surroundings and give the building a modern, clean look.
HORO is designed entirely for housing, with seven above-ground floors and one underground floor used entirely for parking. It contains 54 apartments of different sizes, orientations and layouts, tailored to the needs of the future owners. The existing medium-height white spruces on the plot have been preserved and, together with the newly planted trees and shrubs, complement the natural atmosphere around the building. The richly landscaped areas flow into private gardens and recreation areas.
The massing of the building follows a regular geometric form with a clearly expressed facade and horizontal accents that create a minimalist and memorable look. The many coniferous and deciduous trees give a feeling of an out-of-town atmosphere. Large floor-to-ceiling French windows give the building a light, airy feel, bring plenty of daylight inside and connect the homes with their surroundings.
The overall silhouette of the building is emphasised by facade lighting, which gives it a memorable look at night as well. Each of these details adds to the comfort and cosiness of a modern home that the future owners will enjoy.
