Shipka 6, Sofia

The competition entry offers a complete rearrangement of spaces and entrances on the ground level. The main entrance is located in the middle of the street front and leads to a grand multipurpose-foyer connected vertically to the central core. Spanning the full depth of the lot, the foyer opens into an intimate southern court with a cafe. The foyer can be united with the meeting hall and thus connected to the side shopping street allowing for a maximum activity and usage of the ground floor as an urban space.
