This project’s main value is the quality of life in it once construction is completed, says the investor

47 of the houses in the River Park have already received Act 14, and 16 more will receive it soon.

What sets River Park apart from other residential complexes in terms of Landscape Architecture? How does the complex fit into the initial landscape plan of Sofia? We talked again with landscape arch. Dobromira Lulcheva to find answers of these questions. Together with her team at Landscape Design Studio she has created the distinguished concept of River Park by integrating homes and nature together.

Landscape architect Dobromira Lulcheva is one of the founders of Landscape Design Studio, established in 2016 with a vision to create spaces that bring forth a natural feel. As a landscape architect, she believes that the most important thing is to create with a sense of aesthetics, sustainability and balance in the environment, in which she works. The idea to work in harmony with nature is even woven into the studio’s motto – “sense of nature”.
