House 323 commands a steep street in Sofia, Bulgaria, where I/O Architects set a dark, introverted volume against the city’s edge.

Interior rooms follow that shift from compression to release, moving from a sheltered entrance to broad views and generous terraces.

Inside and out, the composition keeps the house airy, open, and tuned to the Brazilian plateau light.
Red Rock sits on a Las Vegas, NV, United States parcel that looks east to the Strip and west to Red Rock Canyon.
