BGA is a corporate building situated on а corner lot between Gen. Kolev blvd. and Atanas Georgiev str., in the central part of Varna. It is designed to serve entirely the needs of the company-assignor.
The concept of the building is to be the home of the business, and the good business is the successful one. That is why the ascending direction of success is encoded in the white elements on the façade of the building.
The volumetric spatial composition is a result of the analysis of the surrounding area. The soft and elegant shapes are an intended effect, which makes the building fit in the limited urban space in the central part of the city.
Functionally the design provides two underground storeys serving as parking lots, and six above-ground storeys, designed in a manner which fulfills all of the required necessities of the owner company. Due to a lack of physical space in the plot, and for greater convenience, the underground parking lots are served by a speed car lift. On the ground floor there is a welcoming foyer with a reception, and the next five storeys are occupied by office spaces, organized according to the needs of the company.
BGA has a beamless reinforced concrete structure with only three vertical bearing construction elements. This allows for maximal flexibility in the internal spaces organization, depending on the current needs.
Intelligent and modern solutions are used in the technological and infrastructure planning of the building. The energy efficiency is achieved by the latest technology façade system Schuco FWS CV60 with triple highly-selective Guardian glass glazing. The white facade elements are from Krion – innovative material - acrylic stone, giving the opportunities for achieving sophisticated three-dimensional shapes via thermoforming. The passenger and car lifts are delivered by Otis. The central air conditioner installation with VRV technology from LG will take care of the heating and cooling in the building. BMS system is designed for control of the installations in the building, allowing monitoring all the time. The office building of BG Agro Ltd. is not only a modern office building, it is a home of the prosperous business.
