Oborishte 26, designed by NiMa Design, stands in the most prestigious neighborhood in the heart of Sofia. The design of this modern building pays homage to the area's evolving architectural identity, while ensuring it remains grounded in its historical context.

It fully integrates into the environment, aiming, through its abstract design and materiality, to become an inseparable part of the landscape.
