Sozopol Budjaka is almost finished

The four houses complex is situated in the southern part of the city Sozopol. They are placed on the terrain so that all the apartments have a view towards the sea. The houses combine wooden elements again with modern shapes and structure but interesting here is the the dynamics they form as if they are moving towards the sea.

The feeling of lightness and movement come from the slope of the terrain and the shapes the houses form when viewed from different sides and from one another.
Those four Sozopol houses are in construction. Architect of the houses is Anton Rangelov. He graduated architecture in Sofia, 2001 and established his office there.
