Glass City
 

Glass City was conceived as an entertainment-driven urban district on the Black Sea coast, developed from masterplan to architectural definition. The project integrates eight five-star casino hotels rising 35 storeys, ten four-star hotels, residential buildings and a large retail and leisure complex organised as a dense metropolitan composition.

​

At the centre of the development, a spherical glass arena forms the crown jewel of the masterplan. Conceived as a luminous “bubble”, the arena operates as the symbolic and spatial core of the district, surrounded by the main piazza where retail, hospitality and cultural activity converge.

​

Reflective glass towers, water landscapes and pedestrian plazas structure the urban environment, establishing a continuous relationship between architecture, public space and entertainment. The scheme was conceived to meet the highest standards of sustainable design.

​

The project frames entertainment architecture at the scale of the city, where spectacle, landscape and urban life are organised around a central civic landmark.
