Villa Olympea

Project idea

Embedded within the topography, the composition is formed of 2 L-shaped structures interacting on the ground floor, creating an internal green patio that can be visible from anywhere in the house.

A Cedar tree, the emblem of Lebanon, have been placed in the internal patio, being the heart of the project.

Project description

Located in the highest mount of Qanat Bakich in Lebanon, the Villa Olympea embodies beauty and sophistication.

The ground floor is connected to a double volume holding a mezzanine floor called the pool house, where 16 people can be seated, facing a huge indoor fireplace, and enjoy the magnificent view of Qanad Bakich mountains. Rhythmic stairs will lead you to a 3 sides glass infinity pool, and a wooden cantilever with a pair of lounge beds.

Technical information
