Situated in the Bekaa Valley, this residence sits on a site of rare generosity. A 180 degree view over Mount Hermon stretches across the horizon, framing a landscape that shifts with the seasons and commands the eye at every hour of the day.

The climate here is demanding. Summers are dry and hot, the sun relentless, the outdoor space vast and exposed. The design responds to this directly. A neat white platform was carefully placed on the site, an intervention precise enough to feel inevitable, woven into the existing house without disturbing it.

From this platform, a shaded lounge emerges, its roof carried by a rhythm of wooden columns that filter the light and define a space between inside and outside. A circular pool anchors the composition, offering relief from the heat and a quiet focal point that draws the eye inward before the view pulls it back out toward the mountain.

The project does not compete with its setting. It frames it.
