Located on the Northern slope of Bulgaria’s Stara Planina, Villa DO is a mountain retreat designed by Rado Iliev in 2018. The single-storey house with living space, two bedrooms, two bathrooms, wardrobe and a storage room encompasses 100m² (1,076ft²).
Client brief required simple method construction with basic finishes palette and fit out, on a very low budget.
Selected was a painted timber cladded structure on a concrete base slab. All timber material was sourced locally and the structure was erected on site by a two man team. Large non-openable triple glazed panes are fixed directly to the timber frame. Natural ventilation is provided via hatches into the walls.
Design approach aimed for a not compromised yet not pretentious simple building that would not interfere with the rich landscape.
