LH residential building is situated in the historical centre of Varna, Bulgaria. It is located at a corner plot between Slivnitsa Boulevard – the main pedestrian artery leading to the Sea Garden – and Stefan Karadja Street. The context of the building is quite vibrant due to many historical buildings which are present, as well as the dynamic city life of the central zone.
LH is the first intervention in a pre-existing building of the studio, being as one of the most challenging and most responsible projects, especially due to its central location in the city of Varna and its cultural status. The strong belief of STARH in contemporary architecture led the design approach into definitive contemporary expression, while walking the thin line between what’s modern and what’s contextual. Being aware of its responsibility, the studio took the bold step to introduce a design that strengthens the characteristics of the past and add new qualities for the benefit of the future.
