I/O architects surround the house for observation in Bulgaria with a gabion fence.

The Volga studio I/O architects has completed the construction of a private house in the northeastern part of the country, which offers a unique concept and material combination to ensure complete privacy and a panoramic view of the landscape. The main part of the house is a massive stone cube made of large gabion walls, creating a fortress-like feel around the home.

One small opening leads to the garage and entry hall, made of exposed concrete and glass. The first floor features guest quarters along the south façade, where large openings in the wall open up a long outdoor area for access to the site. Above the gabion perimeter is a green private garden, creating a sense of infinity.

The heart of the house is a glass volume covered with a metal roof featuring deep eaves, containing the social areas of the home.
