Varna City Park South - Архитектура СТАРХ | Architecture STARH 

Varna City Park South brings life to a territory of the city of Varna, the so-called Sea Capital of Bulgaria, that hasn’t been used for decades. The industrial landscape of the context is combined with the wide and beautiful view towards Varna Lake which is connected to the Black Sea. Inheriting the industrial aspect of the lot, the residential complex is not a simple housing, but technological and sustainable complex of buildings. In the same way which manufacturing buildings are using local waters for cooling, VCPS is using the natural resources of the city of hot groundwater springs for geothermal energy. Water supply installation provides the apartments with pure chlorine and hydrogen sulfide free water through a drill of around 2 kilometers depth. The inhabitants of the complex have access to healthier water comparing to the rest of the city thanks to the ecological solution of the ozonated water. Heating and cooling are achieved with geothermal heat pumps which brings additional value to the energy efficiency of the project.
