The project’s vision is to
establish an emotional and visual link between the site and the luxurious
function of a country club. What do you see? Blue, greens and reds: a signature
of a beautiful site overlooking the bay of Jounieh. And a place where shareholders
come to enjoy breaking free from the noise of life at our cities in a very peaceful
green land.
// To build with and for nature’s
flow//
While maximizing the footprint of
the project in a way that takes advantage of its long perimeter with surrounding
landscape, we decided to fold the long strip of functions to maximize diversity
in views. With a site that is sloped, we stacked different functions allowing
each function to overlap other elements of the built and the landscape.
Inspired by the traditional
Lebanese pitched roof, we started with a monotone roof covering the whole
project. As different functions have different needs of light, ventilation and
views, we sliced the roof vertically and distributed the openings in what seems
to be random but actually a direct response to the site. This created the
unique roof shape of the building created of multiple smaller tectonic
“Lebanese houses”.
