SKI LODGE

ZAAROUR, LEBANON 

SKI LODGE

This house in the mountains is the modest, rural home for a 5-person family. It is situated on a longish, sloping site, in Zaarour mountain. It is set in green, hilly scenery with a great view over the mountainous landscape and the nearby valley. The two-story building was integrated into the slope so that only the upper black volume was visible from the driveway. It is crowned with a modern pitched roof covered with standing seam metal cladding.

The same material covers also the facade of this part of the building. This volume is additionally cut with a glass connector separating the main day zone from the bedroom. Windows of this level are designed in a way to provide southwestern lighting and scenic views of the surrounding mountain landscape. The lower floor, partially sunken into the hill, has been finished with architectural concrete slabs.
