The project’s architecture in its proportions, the colours of its facades and red tile hipped roof, is inked in the Lebanese architectural heritage. The facades dressed with mechanically fixed terra cotta panels bring a contemporary twist while blending in the environment. A metallic structure covered with plants supports the balconies of the lateral facades.
The project is located on the Easter side of Baabdat in a calm villa area surrounded by Pine trees, with a magnificient view overlooking the mountain of Kornayel, Salima and the Orbaniyé valley. It is close to the village square and 2 min away from the exit of the Metn highway
The project is composed of two three-story independent blocks separated by a courtyard and gardens. Each block offers only one 220 m2 apartment per floor. Apartments on floor one and two have their own private gardens with sizes ranging from 170 to 270 m2. Each apartment has a dedicated studio under the roof as well as two parking spaces and storage in the basement.
