B73 Apartments: Innovative Design Redefining Urban Living

Residential Building Sets New Standards with Solid Surface Material and Thermoforming

The inspiration for the B73 Apartments came from the investor's desire to create an extraordinary building without any compromises. This provided the design team with unparalleled creative freedom, resulting in a project that pushes boundaries and challenges conventional norms. The use of organic forms and an overall white aesthetic comes naturally to the designers at Starh, reflecting their innovative approach to architecture.

What sets the B73 Apartments apart is its innovative and impactful look, achieved through the use of high-end materials and exceptional execution. Unlike traditional residential buildings, each floor of the B73 Apartments houses only one apartment, offering residents privacy and exclusivity.

One of the standout features of the B73 Apartments is the use of solid surface material and thermoforming for complex 3D shapes. This design concept starts with a simple surface that is strategically cut and stretched, creating the shape of a swallow bird. The result is a facade that is both visually striking and structurally sound.

The building's lobby is adorned with a one-of-a-kind light art installation, specially designed for the space. This installation adds a touch of elegance and uniqueness to the building, making it a standout feature in Eastern Europe.

The realization of the B73 Apartments involved the use of advanced technology and techniques. The building envelope and facade design were achieved through the use of acrylic stone material and thermoforming. The designers had to work with multiple software programs to achieve the 3D bending of the elements, ensuring they could be molded accurately.

With a height of 26 meters, the B73 Apartments span six floors above ground and two underground levels, with a total built-up area of 2,100 square meters. The project was completed in April 2021, following a meticulous design phase that began in 2018.

The B73 Apartments have successfully overcome various challenges, including meeting the investor's expectations for high-quality execution. The project required precision at every step and seamless coordination between contractors to ensure the desired outcome.

By inserting a well-executed gem into a diverse and non-homogeneous urban context, the B73 Apartments have not only elevated the quality of design and materials but have also changed the perception of the neighborhood. The building's innovative design and exceptional execution have made it an instant landmark, capturing the attention of both residents and passersby.

The B73 Apartments, with its innovative design, use of high-end materials, and exceptional execution, have set new standards for urban living. This project showcases the power of creativity, technology, and meticulous craftsmanship in shaping the future of architecture and design.
