Residential Park Lozen, officially registered as Lozen Park, is a large-scale residential development in Lozen near Sofia, developed by the German Lindner Group in partnership with IPA - Architecture and more. With a gross floor area of 63,970 sq m, the project creates an integrated residential environment in which low-rise housing, landscaped areas, infrastructure, and shared spaces form part of a unified spatial concept. Residential Park Lozen forms part of the IPA - Architecture and more portfolio of residential buildings.
The concept is based on balancing the independence of individual homes with an environment that encourages interaction between residents. The gated residential development combines private living spaces with shared landscaped areas, recreation spaces, and community functions. Its location near Sofia allows residents to live in close proximity to nature while maintaining access to the city's infrastructure.
The residential program includes three main housing typologies: row houses, single-family houses, and two-family houses. The different types are developed in a range of sizes and layouts, allowing them to respond to different households and patterns of living. Private yards provide a direct relationship between the interior spaces of each home and the landscaped environment.
The architectural and urban design strategy focuses on integrating the development into its natural context and creating a balanced relationship between private and shared spaces. As part of the urban design, the masterplan incorporates extensive open and landscaped areas, private yards, pedestrian spaces, recreation areas, barbecue zones, and places for residents to meet and socialize.
A key element of the spatial organization is the shared streets concept. Rather than strictly separating streets according to different modes of movement, these spaces are used collectively by cars, pedestrians, and cyclists. This approach reduces the dominant role of vehicle traffic and creates a more direct relationship between the homes, pedestrian routes, and communal spaces.
The architectural identity of the individual homes is reinforced through color coding. Natural and earthy tones respond to the character of the surrounding landscape. The different color schemes distinguish individual homes and support orientation throughout the development while maintaining a coherent overall architectural identity.
The development of Lozen Park continues in phases with Residential Park Lozen, Phase 3 and with complementary public, educational, commercial, and workplace functions. Campus Lozen Park, incorporating a school and kindergarten, has already been completed within the wider district, while Lozen Tech Park is developing nearby. Together, these elements extend the original residential concept toward a broader neighborhood environment integrating living, education, work, and everyday services.
