Modern mansion

A modern interpretation of a mansion, this large villa is located on a heavily sloped site in Broumana with dramatic views of a virgin forest in the foreground, Beirut in the distance, and the Mediterranean in the background.

Linear Rhythm

The villa is made up of a series of vertical Travertine walls, always perpendicular to the straight and curving façade, more frequent when privacy is needed and less when opening on to the view and the garden. Within these walls are platforms, courtyards, and terraces that blend inside with out and create a natural flow of spaces always in conversation with the landscape and views around. Wood louvers between the tall Travertine walls allow for privacy and environmental control and effectively allow the villa to open and close onto the large garden and surrounding forest.
