Bablieh is a municipality characterized by its large and exposed plains and hills in the South of Lebanon. The terrain is approximately 35,000 m2 and overviews the valley and the rest of the village. The project’s masterplan started to take shape back in 2016 with the installation of a guard house at the main entrance of the site and works begun with the terracing of the site and the plantation of exotic fruits and vegetable trees. Once the site has been landscaped and terraced, the location of the villa was finalized and design works on the architectural layout began. The main idea was to use the southern part of the project as a cluster/belt to provide privacy to the owners while maintaining few circulation filters through the project to access the pool, terraces and garden. A series of five volumes are organized linearly along the western edge of the site; sliding, stretching and pulling were applied to the volumes in order to fit the given program. The eastern wing, hosting a guest house with two rooms, a patio and a living room, was pulled apart from the adjacent volume (kitchen and services) making way for a wider type of circulation to accommodate events and a more public access to the outdoor spaces. The kitchen and services volume open up to an elevated patio giving to the pool through a long and slow terrain ramp. Underneath the kitchen a basement level with all the technical facilities.
