Maritsa Residence

“MARITSA RESIDENCE” is a residential building located in the city of Plovdiv in an area near the Language School called “Maritsa North Residential Park”. The neighborhood is new, modern and very diverse in visual terms. In most of the plots, residential buildings have already been realized, which have a similar scale and are distinguished by diverse and ambitious solutions in terms of form and colors. That is why we decided that the best way for our building to stand out, without conflicting with the vision of the neighboring buildings, is to rely on a calmer appearance and a generalized form, achieved with quality materials and details.

The building is a parallelepiped, framed with white stripes, which is broken only at its two opposite edges, which are treated differently – with oval lines and by changing the material to bronze. The peculiar “bites” of the main volume, which are obtained in this way, aim to create a feeling of a shell and a core.

The property in which the building is located has considerable depth. In order to avoid overshadowing the neighboring properties, as required by law, and at the same time to obtain a compact shape, we decided to change the coordinate system of the building in relation to the lines of the property. Thus, we obtained two triangular courtyards, in one of which is the main entrance space of the property and the car ramp that leads to the underground garage. The other triangular courtyard is more sheltered and is completely landscaped, so that it serves as a resting area, and in its farthest corner we placed a children’s corner.

The generalized form of the building pays off in functional terms. In plan, it does not have large bends in which the different apartments face each other. The apartments are of regular shape, the functional connections are short, so that the ratio of the common areas to the living area is optimal.
