EOS
MEETING SUNLIGHT
Greek mythology tells us the story of EOS – the goddess of dawn . Every morning she rose to the horizon from the depths of the sea to deliver light and disperse the night . This project , named after the goddess , is located in Varna , Bulgaria , the second largest city in the country . The building is situated next to Sea Garden public park , the only thing separating it from the Black Sea , thus ensuring that EOS is the first to receive sunlight .
Creating a design that fits into a restrictive triangle-shaped plot is the main challenge for the project . This is the datum for its shape in plan and its distinctive spatial-volume structure . Whiteness and horizontal distribution are typical for buildings , and the final result is a building that has a distinguishable silhouette and is open to various associations and interpretations .
