Situated in the Pancharevo area, Kambanite – Housing Estate is a collection of ten detached residences, each with its own architectural character and spatial logic. The master plan preserves the natural vegetation, integrating the buildings harmoniously within the terrain. Streets are minimized and designed as shared zones, ensuring balance between pedestrian comfort and vehicular access. Sustainability is a key principle — the complex employs energy-efficient materials and maintains extensive green areas that reinforce its natural identity.
Among the residences, House /04, Dwelling House stands out with its balanced composition and refined spatial organization. The home is developed on two levels, with the lower one partially embedded into the sloped terrain. This allows functional placement of garages, storage, and service rooms below ground, while maintaining direct access to light-filled living spaces above.
The main entrance is elevated above an L-shaped exterior staircase, leading to a gallery-style veranda. The veranda accommodates outdoor seating and creates a smooth transition between inside and outside. The foyer acts as the central axis of the upper level, visually connecting two verandas — one facing the inner courtyard, the other framing panoramic views of the surroundings.
The floor plan is clearly divided between day and night zones. The living area is open and luminous, featuring a large dining space and a lounge designed for gatherings. The kitchen, positioned to the north, enjoys daylight through a window above the counter — a detail both practical and pleasant.
The private zone includes five bedrooms: three with en-suite bathrooms, two identical north-facing rooms, and a spacious master suite oriented south and west, complete with a walk-in closet and private bath. A secondary entrance provides direct access to this part of the house, ensuring privacy and flexibility in use.
Dwelling House embodies the essence of Kambanite — a dialogue between architecture and nature. Through precise design, functional zoning, and thoughtful materiality, it achieves comfort, elegance, and long-term value within a serene natural environment.
