The 27 meters high Water Tower in Lozenets/Sofia is currently used not
as water tower but as place where art expositions fashion reviews and
other events are being held . The Tower itself is of historical
value.The Building is about a century old and it is preserved exactly as
it was the day they build it. One of the cons of the tower is that it
is very small and it became easily overcrowded . People are also
gathering around the tower when an event of a greater interest is being
held inside. To Solve this problem this project propose the making of
two new galleries .However it is a park and it is not good if we build
two massive structures in the middle of it. To achieve our goal we
decided to build the galleries with green roofs and one level
underground .This way we archive another thing. While going towards the
tower it appear to be even taller than before. We decided not to change
anything in the tower itself except the extremely small terrace. To
protect from everything and mystify this old structure we put something
like a shade which we made to playfuly open at some key places like the
enter to the tower the terrace and on of the windows with a view to
"Vitosha" Mountain.
