About the project

Veda Resort is a residential building located along a busy boulevard in Manastirski Livadi, one of Sofia's rapidly developing neighborhoods. The project forms part of the portfolio of IPA - Architecture and more in residential buildings and combines residential spaces with public and commercial functions at ground level.

At 10 stories, the building has a strong presence within its urban surroundings. Its volume and facade composition are designed to be perceived both from moving vehicles along the adjacent boulevard and from a pedestrian perspective. The architectural expression responds to the scale and character of the surrounding development while establishing a recognizable identity within the neighborhood.

A key challenge in the architectural design was integrating residential and public functions while maintaining efficient layouts and access to natural light. The building is organized around two separate entrances and contains 90 apartments together with five commercial units, including shops and a restaurant.

The residences include studio, one-bedroom, and two-bedroom layouts. Extensive glazing brings natural light into the interiors while also becoming an important part of the overall architectural composition.

The facade is developed using durable and readily available materials, including render with decorative joints. White frames around the glazing and balconies create the primary visual element. Their rhythm introduces depth and movement across the elevations and helps articulate the scale of the building.

The relationship between the building and the adjacent boulevard, the public functions at ground level, and the way the facade is perceived from multiple directions also connect the project with the broader context of urban design.

Veda Resort brings residential and commercial functions together within a clearly defined architectural composition shaped by the dynamic urban context of Manastirski Livadi.
