Boyana Residence was built as the governmental complex for the State Council of the People’s Republic of Bulgaria in 1974. It is situated 10 km south of Sofia center in the foot of Vitosha Mountain and encompasses around 60 hectares of land. The governmental residence is a prime example of the leading trend in the 1970s, displaying a close-to-nature architecture. Despite the existing symmetry of both design and façade, the buildings appear perfectly blended with the environment. Specially designed window openings make the Vitosha mountain a dominant element in the interiors and let nature “flow inside”. Nowadays it is a state complex consisting of several villas immersed in a luxury green park area. It is used as the official residence of the President of the Republic of Bulgaria and the Council of Ministers of the Republic of Bulgaria. Currently Villa 1 houses the National Historic Museum and Villa 2 is a hotel and a congress center.
