The Edge House

‘The Edge House’ by STARH Stanislavov Architects is situated in a suburban area near the city of Varna, Bulgaria within a virgin forest environment. Functionally built, the shape of the building is progressive and dynamic. All of the rooms are oriented south, towards the sea. A large curtain wall ensures a good link between the space inside and the outside world. The combination of bare concrete and glass underlines the originality of the architecture and contributes to the longevity of the house.
