1. Situational Plan

The total area of the land lot is 2210 m2. On this land, there is a complex with three main buildings, taking up 480 m2.

These buildings are listed below:

• The Garage Gym House, which has 2 stories.
• The Main House, which has 4 stories.
• The Pool House, which has 1 story.

The rest of the land, which is 1730 m2, is used for plants, parking, a pool lounge, and fun activities.

Garage Gym House

The Garage Gym House is accessible through the entrance, conveniently located at the street level, ensuring safe access. Covered sliding gates open to provide a 6-meter wide passage to the garage, with space for 4 SUVs.

The land lot is located between two streets that are at different levels. There's a 15-meter difference in height between the streets. People can enter the complex from the higher street 4 SUV Garage to the South or the lower street 10 Slot Solar Carport to the North.

The Garage House features a 10-meter roll-up door and a small workshop area with a sink and countertop.

From the Garage House, there are 3 other exits:

• A bridge from a door to the North leads directly to the 2nd floor of the Main House.
• An internal staircase provides safe access to a covered walkway underneath the bridge and brings people to a fully equipped cross-training gym. The gym has a bathroom, a changing room, and a small kitchen with a supplement bar.
• A covered walkway, found underneath the bridge, guides people towards the entrance to the 1st floor of the Main House.

The entrance to the 1st floor of the Main House is on the same level as the gym, making it easy and convenient to access both.

They both share a scenic covered terrace that offers beautiful open-air views of the surrounding nature.

Moving away from this terrace to the North, the whole complex unveils itself as a cascade along the sloped land between the two streets.

While facing South, towards the Vitosha Mountain, the Main House is tucked into the landscape.

Main House

The Main House has 4 levels - 3 floors above ground and 1 underground floor for technical rooms.

It serves as the main living space, built around a central staircase, and offers a view of the city of Sofia to the northeast and a large courtyard.

A convenient bypass fully encircles the Main House, providing easy and continuous access around it.

In the North-East, it gracefully descends to the lowest above-ground level, seamlessly navigating the space around the office and facilitating direct access from the North.

This thoughtful design ensures an effortless journey around the property, offering ease of access and a fluid connection between essential spaces.

Throughout this gentle stroll around the Main House, the visitor remains enveloped by the serene embrace of nature, adding a tranquil backdrop to every step taken.

The path intuitively guides one towards the delightful summer pool house lounge, establishing a subtle transition from the verdant surroundings to a space where relaxation and leisure converge.

Here, amidst the quietude and lush greenery, one can truly unwind, ensuring that the journey through the property is seamless and a continual engagement with natural beauty and peaceful repose.
