Project. Renovation of an apartment at 89 Vasil Levski, floor 5

At the beginning of the year, we launched one of our biggest and most ambitious projects yet - the transformation of a spacious apartment located in the very heart of Sofia, on Blvd. "Vasil Levski" 89. The apartment impresses not only with its area of 134 sq. m, but also with its panoramic views of some of the most iconic places in the capital - Sofia University, Borisovaya Garden, Vasil Levski National Stadium.

The result is a turnkey home that combines impressive location, functionality and design vision - a place that brings the feeling of a modern urban oasis in the center of Sofia.

Project highlights and challenges

At the beginning of 2025, we started the renovation of a detached apartment on Blvd. Vasil Levski 89 - in the heart of Sofia, with stunning views of Sofia University, Borisova Garden, Vasil Levski National Stadium and Soviet Army Park. The location, while impressive, presented a number of challenges: heavy traffic, lack of container options and limited access to the building. This necessitated extremely precise organisation - the removal of more than 1,800 bags of construction waste and five courses of furniture was carried out solely by mobile transport, without the use of the lift, to preserve the comfort of the residents.

The apartment had not been renovated in over 50 years and the interior and furniture required complete replacement. In addition, the clients - German nationals - left Bulgaria immediately after our first meeting, which meant that the entire turnkey project was entrusted entirely to our team.

Complete excavation to plate

The renovation started with the removal of old plaster, flooring and furniture. We found tons of construction waste hidden under the floors - a typical practice of the past used for insulation. All of it was removed by hand and the subfloor prepared for laying new reinforced mortar and subsequent fibre insulation.

At the same stage we built completely new plumbing and electrical systems, laid machine and fine plaster and painted the walls. This was the foundation on which the whole transformation began.

Distribution and energy efficiency

Originally the apartment had two bedrooms, a separate kitchen, a small bathroom with a second toilet room, a transitional living room with a vestibule and a second entrance once used by a servant. After a number of architectural variations we retained the position of the bedrooms and kitchen, combined the bathroom into one spacious room with shower area, sink and toilet and added a second bathroom.

The lobby in the living room was removed and its opening widened with a metal structure, which formed a huge living area of 70 sqm with a living area and dining area. This way we achieved a communicative and cohesive space that can be heated and cooled with just one air conditioner.

The details that make a difference

The project enabled us to develop the maximum potential of the decorative solutions. In the living area and master bedroom we used wooden wall cladding with concealed lighting, in the second bedroom we used art concrete and a bespoke panel, and in the bathroom we used a photo wallpaper protected with lacquer. The TV case was built entirely to design with integrated cables, a recess for the console and ambient lights giving an unparalleled viewing and play experience.

We transformed the west terrace with bespoke furniture and decorative artificial vegetation to make the most of every inch. We furnished the eastern one with ready-made sets for more comfort.
