Veselin Mitev and Mariya Koycheva. This project aims to combine our interests in life.

My partner, Vesselin Mitev, bought a barn 2006 in the village of Dolen and we began its reconstruction. We built and reconstructed with traditional materials, used in the old Bulgarian houses, but our interpretation is artistic and our house has a unique vision.

The northern side of the house today. Our house has a different face from a different point of view and it can also look different in size because we use the natural slope of the land.

The southern faรงade. We constructed big terraces that can be used for work places and ateliers. The ground floor is an open space with a mini bar and an art gallery.
