This private residential villa is located in the high mountains of Faqra, Lebanon. Revolving around the theme of active recreation, the program was set right from the get-go. Designed to accommodate social gatherings and large family events, the outdoor space does well with visually connecting to the surrounding rocky landscape – effectively expanding the garden. The sharp linear pathway that contrasts with the organic combinations of endemic plants and rhythmic LEDs all work in unison to provoke the user’s reflection over and contemplation of the remarkable shears and rock formations that frame the setting. Bordered from the neighbors, the client’s privacy is preserved without obstructing the visual continuity of the omnipresent geologic structures that dominate the landscape.
