About Chalets Dada Residential Building

Ang sukaranang geometrical nga disenyo giinspirar sa pagsulat sa usa ka bata sa dihang gihangyo siya sa paghimo og balay. Usa ka dula tali sa mga solido, mga haw-ang ug mga materyales ang gi-eksperimento aron makuha ang katapusang resulta Nahimutang sa taas nga kabukiran sa Faraya Resorts sa Lebanon, ang Chalets Dada nagpakita sa katahum ug kaluho. Ang komposisyon gitukod sa pundasyon sa usa ka lebel sa yuta nga nag-host sa usa ka dako nga apartment nga gilibutan sa usa ka tanaman sa bulak. Duha ka dili kasagaran nga mga duplex ang gibato sa Terrazzo sa una ug attic nga salog.

Unique Properties
Located in the high mountains of Faraya Resorts in Lebanon, the Chalets Dada embodies beauty and sophistication.

At hearts ease, the composition is developed on the base of a ground floor housing one big appartement framed with a flower bed. The first and attic floor houses two unique duplexes which are stoned with Terrazzo.

The layout of the building is a series of simple geometric shapes with a play in solids and voids and in materials
Dimensions & Packaging
The building is layered with three floors and a basement, hosting one single residential unit and two duplexes. Each floor has a built area of 220m2 including external walls which equals to a 880m2 of total built up area for the building.

Production Technology
Choosing the mix of mechanical fixed natural stones covering large-sized windows and ending with a repetitive pattern of solid wood allowed us to embed electro mechanical details into the finishes
Design Challenge
Due to the very harsh weather conditions in the area and the modern design of the building with large windows, we had to create adapted details that will not change the buildings shape and research for high performing materials to widthstand exterior conditions
Research
It all started with a research, which was done by a local surveyor, on the types of appartement needed in the area, what are the most demanded surfaces in the market, how many people can it host and how far can we go with the luxury of finishes in order to sell the appartements the fasted. This study lead us to create three appartements having different and unique properties in order to meet all tastes.
Inspiration
The inspiration for the building's shape was a children's house scribling. The primitive shape was remodeled according to the client's needs and the rules and regulations of the city.
Project Duration
The project started in February 2022 and will be finished in November 2024 in the Faraya Mountains in Lebanon
Operation Flow
With its large windows, the ground floor has an advantage of interacting with nature, hosting a 400m2 garden visible from any room in the appartement. Whereas the other two duplexes, thanks to their elevated position in the building, have unique views of the snowy mountains of Faraya
