[Burgas Tower] 45f | 154m |Cancelled

[new bulgaria]

I will stay silent here, because I don't know how I feel about the project.

Any renderings yet?

[zzibit]

This building can only help Burgas in the long run. It will definitely attract attention and business investment will follow afterwards. It's about time they make up their minds and stay firm on the decision. Just build it!!

Well the house was here...the marked circle...I am from Burgas. The restaurant was a great place...


Behind the new building there is a comi-complex with mostly very tall blocks...20 floors, so the building will not be exactly out of place as many ppl say. Plus this part of the Sea garden is the least developed area of the park. It is full of cheap sea-type pubs. It won't be a huge loss if you asked me.
I am for it, if they build a nice building and manage to tight it up with the surroundings and develope this area of the park. It could end up being really nice or a complete debacle.

The house isn't even in the triangle I made
Thanks for your help, and you being a Burgas native, you're perfect to help us out in information

wait, the guy doesn't know what the tower will look like yet?
From what I understood, he just got the permit to built a 150m tower at that location, but still hasn't made any plans, instead he just picked a tower in Dubai that he likes.
Ouch, that's bad, I prefer him to hire an architect and make his own tower, than make a copy of a Dubai tower. Even if that tower is looking good.

But what makes me laugh are these nimbys and the so called 'protectors' of architecture, who wish to 'preserve' Burgas and that house.
It's some ugly copy of a house nobody cares about, and now some 'investor' is willing to spend his 'hard earned' money for a building Burgas can be proud of.
Except for ancient ruins, Bulgaria hasn't had any interesting architecture in the last centuries, except for some occasional buildings like the Ivan Vazov Opera house I really like. Otherwise, I wouldn't mind razing the whole country.

^lol
I think he uses this tower in Dubai to illustrate to the public that there are many skyscrapers built at the beach(WOW what a news,but i guess a big % of the Bulgarians are rednecks anyway , and i made a comment-you know hadzhi stoicho i 3 etazhnia mu nebostargach na selo ) As far as i know there is already a team of architects that is working on the design of the tower and he's just trying to convince the general public in Burgas to accept it.

If they wait too long, the project will never realize and this opportunity will not come again in the future. hopefully the investor acts soon and they lay the foundation.

Today they started to dismantle the house on the spot where the future skyscraper is going to be build(well i think after all it is really going to be build)The plan is to restore it's parts and rebuild the house inside the skyscraper.
And the good news is that the Union of architects in Bourgas is not protesting anymore against this project and they are pleased with the decision of the investor(or he just paid them money to shut their mouths up )
this is the house

Уникална странджанска българска къща от Възраждането ще бъде вградена между втория и третия етажи на 150-метровия небостъргач, който ще се строи до морето в Бургас.
Инвеститорът Ваклин Стойновски съобщи, че е взел решението за вграждането след разговори и предложения, направени от интелектуалци и архитекти в града. Къщата е точно копие-възстановка на Ефендиевата къща от Малко Търново, строена преди около 200 г. В момента оригиналът не съществува, а копието бе дълги години база на НИПК в Бургас, след което бе продадено и се превърна в ресторант. На мястото на къщата ще се строи най-високият небостъргач на Балканите, след като Стойновски купи имота от Министерството на културата.
Демонтирането на къщата започва днес и ще продължи десет дни под ръководството на специалисти реставратори и директорката на Бургаския музей д-р Цоня Дражева. Всеки елемент и дъска ще бъдат описани, номерирани и запазени. Материалите на разглобената странджанска къща ще се съхраняват в хранилище на Археологическия музей. Когато небостъргачът бъде построен, къщата ще възкръсне вътре в него с автентичната си дървена фасада, заобиколена от метала и стъклото на футуристичната сграда. Възстановена ще бъде дървената част от конструкцията, която датира от 1969 г. и носи следите на времето. Каменната и тухлена зидария, която не представлява ценност, ще бъде премахната.
Постройката ще бъде демонтирана и реставрирана от именития бургаски инженер Иван Иванов. Известният реставратор е познат на бургаската публика като дългогодишен директор на Националния институт за паметниците на културата. През последните два месеца Стойновски отвори Ефендивата къща за посетители. Броят на хората, влезли да я разгледат, е около 6000.
Подобна инициатива не е правена досега и това ще бъде невероятна атракция за всички, които посетят бъдещия небостъргач, коментираха вчера архитекти. Стойновски заяви, че има амбицията да създаде нещо повече от една административна или хотелиерска сграда и е готов да инвестира в запазването на Ефендиевата къща.

lol, money solves a lot of things, not only in Bulgaria
I really like the idea of putting back the house inside the skyscraper, that way the guy knows tourists would be interested in visiting, to see that old house inside the new structure, and that way, hop, he caught them for the mall or other stores he'll build there.
I don't know how big this house really is, but this could mean a huge ass base for the tower, or maybe he'll just build the tower on a platform, like so many others are, retails on a horizontal skyscraper downstairs, and offices/hotels (what's going to be the real use of the tower anyway?) on the vertical skyscraper upstairs

^I think it's all over the slavic world...
lol, come to think of it, it does look scary in the middle of the woods lol. And yet, the beach is like 25m away :P

[zzibit]

how is it possible to include the house inside the skyscraper itself?

[3tmk]

^They said they'll take it apart and store it.
Then once the skyscraper is built, with a special vast area for the house, they'll put it back together inside.
As easy as that, just like when you have those giant dinosaur fossils in natural history museums, they assemble them inside.
I'll see if I can find a picture to explain it better

[VelesHomais]

We too have a baba jaga

Ну, вер ар де рендерінгс? Іц бін е вайл.

[3tmk]

^there still aren't any, because the investor still hasn't decided what he wants exactly.
He just wants something 150m tall, but still hasn't picked an architect yet, so this could take a while.
And of course, they've just started taking apart that house, so they can't start before. Not to mention that there isn't any know-how in Bulgaria on building anything that big, so that will take a while too.
