SEASIDE WONDERLAND

Marea, Batroun, Lebanon | 200 SQM (Completed 2022)

This duplex chalet is a haven of comfort with a picture-perfect view of the glittering Mediterranean. From sunrise to sunset, the sea beckons from the main floor balcony, which also serves as an extension to the reception area and the adjacent open kitchen. Nearby, a spiral staircase leads up to a private roof terrace with a panoramic view to match. The sloped and planted ceiling creates an organic feeling thanks to its deconstructivist shape and vegetation. The central piece of the interior is the custom-made TV/bar unit exquisitely crafted in white metal an artisanal rattan, a seaside material motif that is reflected in the staircase leading to the second floor of this cosy family beach house.
