Capitol Residence II is the second phase of the large-scale Capitol Residence residential development located in the Zadgarova Arteria area of Sofia's Serdika District. Designed by IPA - Architecture and more, the project continues the transformation of this urban area through the creation of a new residential environment with a diverse range of functions and spaces for everyday use. Capitol Residence II forms part of the IPA - Architecture and more portfolio of residential buildings.
The second phase expands the development across a site of approximately 85,000 sq m and provides an additional 285,000 sq m of gross floor area distributed across eight residential buildings. The project includes 34,000 sq m of landscaped areas that shape the spaces between the buildings and create a network of internal courtyards, pedestrian routes, and areas for recreation. The first three buildings are currently under development.
Capitol Residence II is a gated residential development with a variety of housing types and apartment sizes. The residential program ranges from compact studios to spacious multi-bedroom apartments. The layouts are designed with an emphasis on functionality, natural daylight, and the ability to accommodate different patterns of everyday living.
All residences are designed as functional and naturally lit spaces. The interior organization aims to create a comfortable living environment through a calm material and color palette, a relationship with the landscaped surroundings, and contemporary residential solutions. Parking is organized across two underground levels with a total of 2,500 parking spaces, allowing a significant portion of vehicle circulation to be separated from the pedestrian and landscaped areas of the development.
Within the architectural concept developed by IPA - Architecture and more, the residential buildings form part of a broader functional environment with a spacious landscaped courtyard and a variety of areas for recreation, sports, and everyday activities. Shops and a pharmacy are planned within the development, providing residents with convenient access to essential services close to their homes.
The program also includes a children's center and spacious playgrounds integrated into the overall residential environment. Outdoor fitness facilities and a sports center with a swimming pool are planned to support active recreation. The project also provides for a direct connection to the metro, improving access to the development and its connection with the wider city of Sofia.
The design incorporates high-quality materials and building systems intended to improve residential comfort and energy efficiency. Windows are planned with triple glazing and a UV filter to support acoustic and thermal performance. Mineral wool facade insulation is specified to further reduce heat loss and limit the transmission of external urban noise.
Capitol Residence II develops the second phase of Capitol Residence as a large-scale residential environment in which eight residential buildings are connected through landscaped areas, pedestrian spaces, supporting functions, and sports and children's facilities. The combination of housing, underground parking, everyday services, and the planned direct metro connection forms part of the overall concept for the development of the project in Sofia's Serdika District.
