We are a small team, united by a passion for creating and sharing a great urban experience. DOT Sofia is our platform to share our love for hospitality, art, and food with you in a stunning architectural environment. Lydia Buranova is in charge of DOT Sofia Urban Residence (accommodation, venue hire), Alexander Gocev heads KOMAT Restaurant, and Vesselina Sarieva curates the DOT Sofia Art collection and cultural events.

DOT Sofia is located in the heart of old Sofia, only a few footsteps from the National Assembly, the Sveta Nedelya Church, the Banya Bashi Mosque, the Sofia Synagogue, the Central Market Hall, and of course the 'Women's Market' itself. This historic part of Sofia has been the home to trade and markets for centuries. Neglected for the past decades, it is now evolving into a multi-cultural melting pot. Along with many others, DOT Sofia aims at contributing to the rediscovery and evolution of this still hidden gem.

When we met Georgi and Viara from I/O architects, we knew it had to be them. There was an instant mutual understanding and vision for the project. And we love what we see now: DOT Sofia's iconic architecture is contextualized to the history of the neighbourhood. The facade of rusted sheet metal documents the gradually disappearing historic materiality of the neighborhood, and the system of opening shutters interprets the life of the pavilions and stands at the 'Women's Market'. The generous spaces inside are simple, minimalistic, furnished with locally designed and crafted interiors and select European design classics.
