Residence Kosnia is a private home in Bulgaria, designed from the front door to the last bedroom as one continuous story. Outside, vertical timber battens, dark split stone and a row of angled walnut fins frame a quiet entrance court. Inside, the plan opens around a curved double height void, where a black steel stair rises through slender vertical fins and daylight falls through every level.
The palette is short and used with conviction. Walnut wraps the ceilings and bends with the architecture. Textured ebony joinery, black steel and dark timber give the house its weight, while wide oak floors, white marble and linen keep it light. Cognac leather, natural cowhide and ochre wool bring warmth close to the body, and living moss walls carry the garden indoors.
A curved opening in the walnut ceiling frames a cylinder of black steel fins. The stair floats on a single folded stringer, beneath a cascade of amber glass pendants, while panels of living moss soften the white wall below.
A curved sofa in cognac leather follows the line of the ceiling above. Butterfly chairs in natural cowhide, a round walnut table and a speckled wool rug face a library enclosed in black steel and glass.
Full height cabinetry in a textured ebony veneer, finished with slim bronze pulls, meets a white marble island that folds down to the floor. Above it, a pendant of solid oak beams lights the counter.
Carved lattice screens in dark timber stand behind the beds, beneath ceilings of wide dark planks. Striped linen, an ochre knit throw, a geometric wool rug and a hanging egg chair by the window keep the rooms soft.
A house that feels as calm as it looks.
