Minimalism in Shoumen. So it is possible

by Nikolay Angelov, 29.12.2008

This is a workshop for production of sweets in the industrial zone of the town of Shoumen.

It looks like a black metal box with little concrete boxes sticking out. Yes, we like it.

Several years ago, while at university, we were fond of visible
concrete — seemed brutal, outraged all professors and
Tadao Ando was in vogue…

But I have never seen a Bulgarian investor willing to pay for visible concrete so boldly before.

As a whole there are quite a few Bulgarian investors who tend to like clean, minimalist buildings. Black at that.

P. S. A woman working there, however, was astounded why the hell should anyone want to shoot the building. Said it looked like a coffin and there is no natural light within.
