In the quiet of Baabdat's pine forest, this villa is built from the mountain's own material — local stone laid with deliberate roughness, its texture accumulating shadow at every hour. The plan is orthogonal and composed, organized around a central living space that opens at both ends to create a through-ventilated interior free of mechanical cooling.
The garden is treated as an extension of the architecture: terraced, planted with indigenous species, and structured by the same geometry that governs the building. No fence separates the planted ground from the built one — they share the same grammar.
Stone and silence: the two oldest luxuries in Lebanese mountain architecture.
