We work under a special circumstance for this project: a house extension for a private lot in the suburban Beirut, where nature tends to disappear.
\nThese Mountains\u2019 sides overlooking Beirut coast ravaged by hazardous construction during war. Within this context, we mainly look for the preservation of the existing landscape,
\na pine forest passing through the lot, reclaiming itself as a rare land within the massive deforestation activities in Lebanon. Here the landscape is stronger than the house.
\nThe client being a wealthy and a complex person, we chose to reveal a scenario of his life instances through different functions inserted separately within this natural site. It is an interesting game with the existing landscape. The project take birth between the existing tree truncs, it imprints their shape, their shadows\u2026The forms are pure; the space is nude. We search a calm and serene mood.
\nThe relationship with the exterior through the Jacuzzi, Reception, W.C., Children Cabanas, interventions\u00a0is empowered by huge frames where nature is highly valorized.\u00a0It is very interesting to manipulate the givens in a specific geographical context, trying to reinforce it and merging it with the contextual construction requests.<\/p>\n
