The main objective of the "Building Of The Year" contest is to acknowledge the achievements of the Bulgarian architects, developers and investors in the different categories.

Over the next couple of weeks, I will try to post some of the more interesting ideas. Here is the first category:

I like Bellissimo best. simple, yet inspiring.

There are some really cute buildings there. I too like Bellisimo the most. The "Office Building across from Park Hotel Moskow" is also very nice.
The Soravia building on the other hand is very ugly IMO.

Hey man Im a bit confused - those VW salons seem to be standardized. The one in Skopje and the rest that I've seen are like that. How can that be nominated for this?

Another thing that confuses me even more is that the Mercedes salon (Balkan Star) looks exactly the same with the Mercedes salon in Skopje (Mak Auto-Star)

You are absolutely correct. I was surprised when they got nominated, but I guess, they will be judged mostly for execution rather than design.

This one is not: Ford Mote Phoe Dealership - Pleven
