Rising above the renovated Crowne Plaza, Sky Bonsai Bar transforms the rooftop into a dynamic urban retreat. The lightweight steel structure and double floor system integrate all technical infrastructure, granting full freedom for spatial design. A black reflective façade merges with the sky, while floor-to-ceiling glass panels and skylights ensure uninterrupted city views and natural light throughout.
The layout follows strict symmetry, centered around an indoor garden with a living bonsai tree. Four round columns clad in natural veneer and brass frame the garden under an open skylight, while arches connect the lounge, bar, and dining areas with fluid geometry and visual continuity.
Lighting shapes the experience. Mirrored circular fixtures with RGB gradients create depth, motion, and atmosphere. The central bar is a study in balance: a mirrored ceiling, glass shelving, and subtle illumination highlight the selection of premium drinks without overwhelming the space.
Lounge areas feature warm textures, panoramic windows, and reflective surfaces that enhance the sense of openness. Even the restrooms continue the immersive experience, with dark hallways, vibrant interiors, and infinity-effect mirrors creating moments of surprise.
Sky Bonsai Bar is more than a rooftop bar—it is a carefully orchestrated architectural experience. Every detail, from structure to material, lighting, and visual flow, is designed to harmonize function, comfort, and aesthetic clarity, making it a unique rooftop destination in Sofia.
