Project description
In a calm shaded valley in the hills of Batroun, the French owners wanted a summer house for their vacations in Lebanon. The house had to be totally open to the garden from all rooms. The architectural language was somehow meant to remind the Clients of their homeland yet remain contextual. All olive trees and grapes were to be kept or relocated within the garden. Rough typical stone walls had to fade in the old stone terraces.
