Astral Tower is the highest building in Varna, Bulgaria, reaching up to 140 meters. The location of the building lot is chosen based on a thorough urban planning survey and solar analysis. Locked between two main boulevards of the city, Astral Tower is within a walking distance of public and institutional buildings, as well as in close proximity from the historical center.

Astral Tower是保加利亚瓦尔纳最高的建筑，高达140米。建筑场地的位置是根据全面的城市规划调查和太阳能分析来选择的。Astral Tower位于城市的两条主要大道之间，距离公共和机构建筑只有几步之遥，距离历史中心也很近。

As a mixed-use tall building, the project’s concept is to offer a way of inhabiting that is co-related with nowadays’ everchanging daily dynamics. Everyday activities are concentrated into a single building, which allows a person to preserve time and energy in such a way over the span of single day, that could be channeled to their personal life, family and recreational activities. The program consists of residential and office spaces, 4-star hotel, a mall, supermarket, gym, restaurant and café, healthcare services bank offices.
作为一座混合用途的高层建筑，该项目的理念是提供一种与当今不断变化的日常动态密切相关的居住方式。每天的活动都集中在一栋建筑中，这使得一个人能够在一天的时间内节省时间和精力，并将其用于个人生活、家庭和娱乐活动。该项目包括住宅和办公空间、四星级酒店、购物中心、超市、健身房、餐厅和咖啡厅、医疗服务银行办公室。

The project design is developed mainly in two volumes of a similar size – a horizontal and a vertical one – that are connected to one another. The design concept is reached after many studies and design proposals for the most appropriate size and ratio that could fit in the context. Major priority is accomplishing a design that is delicate and humane, as well as contemporary and distinctive. In this sense, rounded corners along the full height and attenuated vertical tectonics give the illusion of a disappearing building silhouette. In this way, the building itself fits in the most unobstructive way into the context with its size. Building systems and technologies that are used aim to provide optimal comfort of inhabiting and to take into account the global current events. The HVAC system eliminates the need of positioning additional technical levels along the tower. Using VRF 3-pipe system provides individual control of the temperature through heat recovery process and allows delivering of additional fresh and clean air, that helps natural ventilation as well. Additionally, high-speed elevators and garbage chute systems are included. Due to the everyday need of contact with nature and optimizing visual comfort, wide area of an extensive green roof and public green roof terrace between the two volumes are included.
项目设计主要在两个相似大小的体量中展开，一个是水平的，一个是垂直的，它们相互连接。设计理念是经过多次研究和设计方案，确定最适合环境的尺寸和比例。首要任务是完成一个精致和人性化的设计，以及当代和独特的设计。从这个意义上说，沿着整个高度的圆角和衰减的垂直构造给人一种消失的建筑轮廓的错觉。通过这种方式，建筑本身以最不显眼的方式融入到其大小的环境中。建筑系统和技术的目的是提供最佳的居住舒适度，并考虑到全球时事。HVAC系统消除了沿塔定位额外技术层的需要。使用VRF三管系统通过热回收过程提供单独的温度控制，并允许提供额外的新鲜和清洁的空气，这有助于自然通风。此外，高速电梯和垃圾溜槽系统也包括在内。由于日常需要与自然接触并优化视觉舒适度，两个体量之间包括了大面积的绿色屋顶和公共绿色屋顶露台。

Classic structural scheme of “tube in a tube” allows for a full 360-degree view from all 40 floors that opens a spectacular panorama towards the Black Sea and the whole city. The parking demand of inhabitants and visitors is completely satisfied in 5 underground levels.
“管中管”的经典结构方案允许从所有40层楼观看360度全景，向黑海和整个城市打开壮观的全景。地下5层完全满足居民和游客的停车需求。
