Glass and Stone House in Bulgaria

Studio I/O architects realized an interesting project of the Observation House residence located near Sofia, Bulgaria. The residence is situated on top of a hill surrounded by beautiful nature and endless agricultural lands. The house is presented in three levels, with the lower one extending underground, the second resembling a stone fortification, and the upper part designed as a glass volume. The total area of the house is 980 square meters.

The underground part of the residence hides a wine cellar, technical rooms, and a storage room. Above it are the garage, hallway entrance, main bedroom with bathroom and sauna, two additional bathrooms with separate toilets, laundry room, massage room, wardrobe storage, staff quarters, monitoring office for the security system, and a terrace. On the very top, in the glass structure, are the living room, dining room, kitchen, and panoramic terrace. From here, a panoramic view of the surroundings is offered, while private zones are enclosed to protect the family's privacy.
