Gorgeous building ^^^^

[Turnovec]

I like that new building in the BSP... very nice curves

[new bulgaria]

Are these just the winners?

[skingrad]

Gorgeous building ^^^^

Wow that's what you call a beautiful building.

Those are some nice buildings you guys got.

[Sbz2ifc]

I like Irocco Building (residential) and BPS #5, but some of the other ones are quite ugly. For example Hill Tower, Citroen Village and even the winner, Balneohotel Pomorie (not to mention the industrial ones).

Unfortunately, when it comes to architecture, it's all personal. I feel like you. I like some of the architectures, I hate the rest.

Yes, of course we have this style of building, I am just happy and pleased to see them somewhere else renovated and well kept.

[bgrs]

Hm, perhaps I should have posted all the buildings that took place in the competition:

There are some categories (namely hotels and industrial/office buildings) where the nominees and the winners follow some very weird criteria. Anyway, as far as retail buildings or the special awards are concerned, I'm OK with that. But hey, see the list of residential buildings for example! Why is that Sequoia the winner? I can't believe that!

[zzibit]

Aquamarine and Porsche center are my favorites. muito bono.

[Cosmin]

I like BPS Sofia, Irocco, Arena Serdika, Aquamarine, Zona and those two renovated buildings. The rest are crap.:cheers:

[Делян]

Gorgeous building ^^^^
You might be able to see the building from Bucharest...:nuts:

[Gotsomekicks]

Aquamarine is :eek2: Great buildings were built this year in Bulgaria :cheers:

[radi6404]

the Porsche center and the Hill tower are my favourites, look really expensive

[dewrob]

interestingly most of the winners suck, but many of the nominees are great :cheers:

[Kese]

This is a nice thread. Congratulations.

[dash wwa]
