▲Site Plan 总平

在一个具有挑战性的陡峭场地上，景观设计师打造了一个安全的世外桃源，小且精准的干预，建立起整体而统一的幸福家园。

场地位于贝鲁特市海拔2700米处，是一个占地4000平方米的私人山顶，业主希望在这里和自然、家庭和朋友重新建立起联系。360度美轮美奂的全景和一览无余的陡峭山峰让这个任务具有挑战的同时也为设计师带来了机遇。首先必须确保项目的宜人，安全，可用。景观干预仅用了简单的两个策略便有效的形成整体并最终达到了目的。

房屋前院的花岗岩平台为客户提供了主要的生活空间，这里被水面环绕，水面在这里是一个安全的屏障，也是美景的反射面。这里能和家人度过愉快的时光，和朋友举办聚会。水池在夏季还能作为泳池。更衣室和淋浴间就隐藏在泳池下方。房屋后院是一个四周高中间低的绿色花园，为儿童和家人提供了一个安全的嬉戏之处。前后两个院落风格迥异，对比强烈，满足了业主不同的需求，为客户提供全面的选择。

在整个设计过程中，设计师和客户交流密切，实现了建筑外的景观与自然景观无缝连接的景愿。硬质工程的主材只有一种：灰色花岗岩。其材质与建筑地基风格保持一致。

On a steep and challenging site, a peaceful sanctuary away from the hustle and bustle of city life was required. In two small and precise gestures, the landscape intervention creates a safe and holistic environment for celebrating essential blissful moments.

▲客厅的视野，View from the living room out to the panorama.

▲进入淋浴间和更衣室的隐藏楼梯，Access to shower and changing rooms.

▲卧室的视野，View from bedroom window.

▲进入淋浴间和更衣室的隐藏楼梯下面的走廊朝山野的开口，Along the axis of the chaning rooms, a piercing for maintaining the site’s steep slopes is dramatically provided.

▲更衣室就在走廊的一侧，Access to the changing rooms appears to be carved out of a monolithic granite block.

▲非正式后花园，Informal back garden.

▲后花园草坪，Back garden with grass crater detail.

▲宛如浮在水面上的前院，Front garden floating on water.

▲露台的静谧时刻，Main terrace set for soaking blissful moments of contemplation.

▲被水环抱，Main terrace embraced with water.

▲通往泳池之路，Access to the horizon pool.

▲夕阳无限好，Sunset stillness.

▲夕阳，泳池！The swimming portion of the peripheral water element at sunset.

▲环绕院子的水池也是一个安全缓冲区，其反映的无限美景每一个房间都能看到。The water element wraps around the entire front terrace, providing a safety buffer from the steep hilltop, and revealing dramatic uninterrupted views from the outdoor terrace and every room ot the house.

▲景观宜动也宜静，适合沉思也适合举行聚会。The landscape provides ample space for contemplation, while allowing gatherings an entertainment to occur in a dramatic setting.

Here’s some more information

On a remote site, 2700 meters above sea level and the city of Beirut, the client wanted to create his own private escape, a place to reconnect with what is essential for them—nature, family, and friends.

The site, a 4000 m2 private hilltop, offered great potential yet equally great challenges. Stunning 360-degree views, along with dangerously steep slopes all around its crest. At a conceptual level, providing appropriate, safe, and usable space became one of the most critical aspects of the project to resolve. The landscape intervention was defined by two simple gestures that resulted in one holistic project.

At the front side, the granite base of the house was extended outwards to provide the required outdoor living space, while being embraced with a multi purpose peripheral water element. This water surface provides a safe boundary around the entire terrace, while absorbing the endless panoramic views.

The resulting panoramic terrace became the main living component of the house, hosting memorable moments alone, and with family and friends. Swimming, lounging, and relaxing became rituals in the summertime. Monolithic, concealed shower and changing rooms are carved out of this granite base and dramatically accessed down through the water.

At the back side, almost as a crater, a garden was carved out, to provide a safe and informal green and organic space for the family and children to enjoy.

The contrast between those two spaces, the formal and geometric front garden, and the informal and organic back garden, offered the clients a holistic environment that responded to their lifestyle and escapists requirements, while leaving the rest of the hilltop intact.

Close collaboration with the client and architect occurred all along the process, in order for the landscape to seamlessly embrace and extend the architecture into the outdoors and horizons beyond. One material was used exclusively throughout the project, grey granite, following the base of the house, with solid blocks incorporated where possible to withstand the harsh winter and snow covered months of the year.
