HORO

Residential building with a sophisticated vision and strict elegance

Residential building HORO is located in one of the most in demand neighborhoods in Sofia - Ovcha Kupel. Horo is located on Narodno Horo Street near Montevideo Blvd, New Bulgarian University, a number of healthcare facilities, Kukuryak Park, green spaces, public transportation stops and the third metro line, making the property very strategically located and attractive to the modern citizen. The main building access is from the north side, along Narodno Horo Street.

The metaphor of "green lawn" is skillfully used as inspiration for the materials and vision of the exterior envelope of the building. The base of the facade is decided in an oily green shade, inspired by the flourishing greenery of the surrounding environment. An additional accent color added as window dividers and separating walls between apartments is inspired by the bright wood and bushes of the "green field" around the building. To break up the natural tree inspired color palette used so frequently throughout the project, horizontal granite slabs in a soft brown hue are located rhythmically on the façade, reminiscent of rock formations and stone groups on the "green meadow". The materials used on the exterior of the building create a feeling of elegance and sophistication, and their quality ensures a long life, easy maintenance and low energy costs. The selected materials and colors on the facade fit favorably into the surrounding environment and give a modern and clean look to the building.

HORO is designed entirely for residential needs, and is designed in seven above-ground and one underground floor provided entirely for parking. It consists of a total of 54 different in size, exposure and function apartments, tailored to all the needs of future owners. Within the property are preserved the existing medium-high white spruces, which along with the newly designed tree and shrub species will compliment the natural atmosphere around the residential building. The richly landscaped areas flow into individual courtyards and recreation areas for each of the ground floor units.

The three-dimensional solution of the building follows a regular geometric shape with a clear facade and horizontal accents, which create a minimalist and memorable vision of the project. The many coniferous and deciduous tree species around the building give a feeling of an extra-urban atmosphere. The use of large French windows, along the entirety of the facade, the airiness of the building, the high intensity of lighting, emphasizing the horizontality of the design at night, a connection between the building and the surrounding environment is established.
The overall silhouette of the building is highlighted by the facade lighting, which gives a clear depiction of the building’s form and facade details at night. Each of these details contributes to the comfort and coziness of the modern home, which will be felt by future residents.
