mountain villa in Faqra, Lebanon
Two solid blocks with a transparent passing loggia in between; all oriented toward the frontal panoramic veranda looking to Beirut harbour
The villa has been built ,in Faqra, an exclusive lebanese mountain location , 30 km. far from Beirut and 1800 meters high from sea level
The oval plot where the villa lays looks like a small rock hill with very steep borders, High between 5 and 7 meters from the surrounding road. Against the client first request, we decided to keep this hill and to build the villa just on the center top of it.
The main living floor is 7 meters higher than the access road level
a vertical cedar wood cladding characterizes both the exterior and the interior of the building
