House /02, The Levitation House is one of the more diminutive yet striking residences within the Kambanite Housing Estate, a collection of ten unique single-family homes in the Pancharevo area. Its design embodies openness and serenity, offering panoramic views while integrating seamlessly with the surrounding natural environment. Each house in the estate is carefully aligned with the existing vegetation, preserving the site’s character and enhancing the individuality of every dwelling. The estate prioritizes innovative interiors, minimized shared streets, and sustainability, combining elegance with environmental responsibility.
The house is organized on two levels, with the lower volume partially embedded into the contoured terrain, accommodating the garage, storage, laundry, and a staff studio with an English courtyard that brings in natural light. The upper volume “levitates” above the ground, hosting all main living spaces to maximize sunlight, views, and comfort. Access between levels is via a single-flight staircase leading to a central foyer, which separates the day and night zones. The day zone includes a spacious living room overlooking the forest and an adjacent terrace for outdoor relaxation, while the night zone houses two generous bedrooms and a master suite with a private dressing area and en-suite bathrooms.
Terracing and careful volume composition allow natural light to reach all areas and preserve the surrounding greenery. Transparent and openwork elements reinforce a seamless connection between interior and exterior, creating fluid, airy spaces that expand the experience of living. Sustainable materials and energy-efficient systems ensure long-term performance while minimizing environmental impact.
The Levitation House exemplifies the Kambanite estate’s ethos: compact yet sophisticated living, in harmony with nature, where design, comfort, and sustainability converge.
