The offered project treats the conception for a student’s hostel, situated in the centre of Sofia. The hostel offers to the students intimacy and comfort of living, providing for them private rooms and various places for social contacts and manifold activities. There is a fine view from the mentioned spaces to the city and to the “Vitosha” mountain.

The architectural composition of the building consists of modules that enclose variable and unique in itself interior and exterior spaces.

In the straggly build urban area my idea is to create an organic integrated structure with characteristic appearance.

The building is well situated in a densely build-up urban area. It has appropriate proposal for green places inside the building’s structure. The parking places which are well placed on first floor are good functional and compositional decision. The building is made on modular principle of constructing and it has flexibility in rooms’ organization. There is a variety in the usage of elements for vertical communication – stairs and elevators. In the project they not only serve for facilitating the up-and-down movement but also are important elements of the whole composition.
