EOS

Greek mythology tells the story of EOS – the goddess of dawn. Every morning she rose from the depths of the sea, to bring the light of day to people. The project, named after her, is situated in Chaika neighborhood, in the marine capital of Bulgaria – Varna, with only the Sea Garden and the Black Sea located in front of it, ensuring that the building is the first one receiving sunlight.
The main challenge was to create a design that fits in the restrictive triangle-shaped plot, which was the datum for its shape in plan and its distinctive spatial-volume structure. Whiteness and horizontal composition are typical for the buildings in the area and completely match the studio’s work manner. The final result is a building that has a distinguishable silhouette and is open for various associations and interpretations.
Functionally, the apartments were designed in a way that allows all of the inner spaces to have orthogonal forms. Only the balconies facing East have triangle shapes.
A construction challenge was the prestressed concrete balconies in the sharp part of the building, reaching up to 8 meters in length on the upper floors.
EOS is a building where it was thought not only of aesthetics and functionality, but of the building’s longevity, as well. The façade materials are chosen to guarantee long life, easy maintenance with low energy costs, as well as high living comfort - aluminium windows, highly selective glazing, fiber cement ventilated façade.
