REMI WINEHOUSE

Lot #4311 runs east-west and slides in a northwest direction towards beautiful, formerly agricultural terraces that join the Qannoubine Valley in the background. To the north, the open fields reach the village of Qnaiouer, about 1 km away. To the east, the majestic natural rocky amphitheater surrounds what remains of the Cedar Forest. The project’s design will reflect the owner's recent winemaking activity and thus associate his house with the winery below. The main space of the house is designed as a wine tasting hall with the bedrooms suspended above. Two staircases lead separately to the master bedroom on the one hand, and to the guests’ bedrooms on the other. The roof supports a garden that is partly private for the rooms and partly shared. A cantilevered pool covers the main entrance and accentuates the brutalist character of the architecture. A separate rental accommodation unit is located away from the main house and has its own direct access.
