We are proud to share that our project for reconstruction of the Farmer’s Market in Blagoevgrad won the grand prize in the "New Projects" category at the sixth edition of the "Bulgarian Architecture Awards 2024" competition, organized by the Chamber of Architects in Bulgaria, during the ceremony held on September 19, 2024, in Sofia.

The project aims to transform the open market area into a modern, attractive, and multifunctional public space, which expands and enhances the city's pedestrian zone, becoming a new urban landmark and attraction.

Based on the idea that art is an integral part of interior design, UNITED MASTER ARCHITECTS are launching a series of events showcasing contemporary visual artists. The start was put on 20th of June with an exhibition by Kamen Starchev, a Bulgarian artist known primarily for his vector graphics. He has held numerous solo exhibitions in Bulgaria and abroad. His works are part of the collections of the National Art Gallery, Sofia City Art Gallery, the Luciano Benetton Collection, and many private collections in Bulgaria, Europe, and the USA.

The exhibition features a selection of his works displayed in the studio's working spaces and meeting rooms blending perfectly with the modern office interior. The event brought together employees, partners, friends and art enthusiasts.

We are happy to announce that our team won a prize at this year’s ARCHINOVA Awards in “Public buildings” category for Blagoevgrad Tech Park. This is a true recognition for both our team, who was involved in the project and the project itself, as every year the Awards Ceremony puts quality architecture in the spotlight.

The project is designed as a multifunctional campus, located in close proximity to the Blagoevgrad city center and the American University in Bulgaria. It aims at achieving some strategic goals such as attracting high-tech companies to support the local economy, to keep the younger generations involved and last but not least to welcome digital nomads and position Blagoevgrad as the regional as high-tech leader.

In order to achieve the above the campus creates an extremely new architectural ecosystem combining office areas, laboratories, libraries and technical amenities. Blagoevgrad Tech Park is set to offer also a conference venue and exhibition center to host international professional and entertainment events.

We are happy to share that our team was awarded in the category “Projects related to development of the cities” in the National contest Building of the Year 2023 for the reconstruction project of the Farmer’s market in Blagoevgrad.

The project started in October 2021 after well-recognized potential of the area to be incorporated with the pedestrian infrastructure and to be further developed as a multifunctional urban location.

The redesigned market was officially opened on August 28th showcasing its new steel construction with metal ceiling and innovative vacuum drainage system, which allows the rain water to go through the columns.

The reconstruction also features 99 specially designed skylights, wooden suspended ceiling and last but not least lightning, which is a key addition to the evening and night life of the space. The wooden tables designed by arch. Dimitаr Paskalev and Plamen Kovachev correspond perfectly with the ceiling and are easy to fold and store after the end of a busy day, transforming the whole space with an ease.

UNITED MASTER ARCHITECTS has three nominations for ARCHINOVA Architecture Awards. The Award Ceremony is a highly-respected and awaited event, which puts quality architecture in the spotlight and this year will take place on April 4th.

Our team is part of the competition with VR House in Vidin in category “Single-family residential buildings”, Blagoevgrad Tech Park in “Public buildings” category and with the renovation of the Farmers Market in Blagoevgrad in “Urban environment elements – Product design”.

We are happy to share that the reconstruction project of the Farmer’s market in Blagoevgrad is nominated in the National contest Building of the Year 2023, category “Projects related to development of the cities”. The winners will be announced on December 14th in an official ceremony.

The history behind the market is quite intriguing as it all started in 2015, when two of our lead architects Dimitar Paskalev and Asparuh Markov originally designed it for the Farmer’s Market “Rimska Stena” in Sofia. At that time the project wasn’t executed. In 2022 after some additional adjustments it was presented to the Blagoevgrad Municipality and was approved for development, going out live 8 years later.

Through their buildings and urban design architects not only show to the world their understanding of aesthetics combined with functionality and innovation but can also revive entire areas or even societies.

Led by the idea of bringing the sustainable architecture to another level and to create quality buildings and spaces in every part of the country and beyond, the two lead architects – Elitsa Panayotova and Dimitar Paskalev united their studios to form United Master Architects…
