The Design

About Olympea 집

레바논 산에 위치한 주거용 빌라는 주변 자연과 통합되어 있습니다. 그 디자인은 1층에 있는 2개의 L자형 구조로 구성되어 있으며, 이 구조는 서로 상호 작용하여 집의 모든 공간에서 볼 수 있는 내부 녹색 파티오를 만듭니다. 이 개념은 집에 복도가 생기지 않도록 하고, 심미적인 이유는 물론 공간 손실을 피하기 위해 고안되었습니다. 내부 테라스에는 삼나무를 심었는데, 이는 국기에 나오는 국가의 상징이자 집의 심장이 되었습니다.

Unique Properties
Embedded within the topography, the composition is formed of 2 L-shaped structures interacting on the ground floor, creating an internal green patio that can be visible from anywhere in the house. Because of this, there are no corridors in the house.
A Cedar tree, the emblem of Lebanon, have been placed in the internal patio, being the heart of the project.
Dimensions & Packaging
The ground floor has an indoor built area of 600m2 and a terrace of 150m2.
The two basements underneath has a built area of 700m2 and a garden of 300m2.

Production Technology
the house was covered in natural stone, low emission glass, mixed with black steel for the pergolas and fireplaces
Design Challenge
The hardest part was to execute the project with having minimum impact on the existing land
Research
The study started by merging two L-shaped structures to create an internal green patio, while having the basement floors embedded into the mountain in order to merge the building with its surroundings.
Inspiration
While i first visited the site, i was amazed by the beauty of the mountain, and i wanted the have the least intervention possible. This is when we decided to embed the structure into the mountain and keep the surroundings as is.
Project Duration
The project started in April 2016 and will finish in October 2018
Operation Flow
The building offers comfort through its generous interior space distribution, the luxurious views, and the high end quality of the materials used for the construction.The heated flooring and the low emission glass provide an efficient heating and cooling system that allows heat exchange between the ground and the rest of the space
