About Y House
Discover Y House: A Modern Retreat Amidst Nature
Nestled in Samokov, Y House offers striking views of Rila Mountain. This single-family residence reinterprets the village house with modern flair.
A Contemporary Take on Village Architecture
Y House is a two-story rectangular structure with a distinctive gable roof, thoughtfully placed within a lush courtyard.
Its individual elements – windows, doors, loggias, and wall finishes – boldly contrast with the geometric shape.
Inspired Materiality
Y House draws from rustic village houses, featuring a stone-clad lower half that connects it to the site.
The stone walls extend to form loggia railings, while the second floor, finished in wooden planks, adds depth and separation.
Year-Round Comfort and Protection
Y House ensures comfort with a standing seam metal roof and oversized eaves, providing shelter from winter elements and summer sun.
