While seemingly nondescript from the outside, the interior of this backyard-centric home in Sofia, Bulgaria is anything but. Overlooking a perfectly-manicured garden, an expansive use of glass on its facade showcases a powerful connection between the minimalistic interior and the lush landscape beyond. Cool finishes of dark steel and wood complete the main living and dining spaces of the home — upstairs from a garage, fully-visible from both within and the outside. Enjoy the selection of photos above.
