 Tahan Villa

The house is designed to benefit from the spectacular panorama towards the bay of Jounieh, with a
series of platforms below and a suspended horizontal box above. It was conceived as an architectural
adaptation of the rocks that characterize the surrounding scenery, with sliding stone panels that echo
the texture of the rocks. It rests on a transparent box shaped by platforms that adapt to the topography,
forming a transition from a stepped access to the house, into a balcony, and finally, into the enclosed
reception area.
