Dear parents, partners and friends,

we present to you the architects who unanimously won a jury vote a few days ago with their architectural solutions for the new Karin Dom building among 174 projects from 48 countries on 5 continents. These are the young and very talented Bilyana Asenova (Bulgaria) and Sasha Ciabatti (Italy) – a team based and working in Berlin, Germany. They won the hearts of Karin Dom’s team with precision solutions, compact interior space and maximum green space.
