Observation House: A Unique Blend of Architecture and Nature

Unveiling the Beauty of Northeast Bulgaria

Located in a picturesque setting, the Observation House stands out with its distinctive design and unique features. The architects strategically placed a part of the program in a seemingly blind bastion-like volume, while elevating the living area high above it. This ingenious approach not only enhances the breathtaking views but also creates a sense of completion, with a 360-degree panorama visible from the fully opened space above.

The solid base of the house, with its proportion and materiality, gives it the appearance of an infrastructural object that defines the edge of the village. This design choice adds a touch of modernity and sophistication to the surrounding landscape, making the Observation House a true architectural gem.

Constructed between 2013 and 2015, the Observation House showcases the impeccable craftsmanship and attention to detail of the I/O architects team. The use of wood, stone, and a unique roof design further adds to the charm and character of this remarkable residence.

The Observation House has garnered well-deserved recognition, including the prestigious Silver A' Design Award in 2016. This accolade is a testament to the exceptional creativity, innovation, and technical expertise demonstrated by I/O architects. Their design not only captivates the eye but also evokes a sense of wonder and admiration.
