Architecture Design of Skyhaven Residence

Description About The Project

Skyhaven Residence designed by BLANKPAGE Architects, perched majestically atop a breathtaking hill in the Batroun region. This residence commands stunning vistas of a verdant valley cascading toward the sea. Designed to harmonize with the natural landscape, the project comprises two homes within a singular structure, one for the client and another for their parents.

Embracing the undulating topography, the architecture embodies a “balcony/belvedere” concept, offering panoramic views from every angle. The house gracefully follows the contours of the land, featuring an arc-shaped design that extends outward from the cliff’s edge on two levels, minimizing the need for extensive excavation.

The lower level, anchored into the hillside, houses the bedrooms for both households, with a serene meditation room nestled between them, reminiscent of Japanese design principles. The upper floor, characterized by expansive glazed facades, hosts the living areas and kitchens, seamlessly merging indoor and outdoor spaces to evoke a sensation of living on a grand balcony.

A shared semi-covered entrance plaza welcomes residents and guests alike, serving as a versatile gathering spot for family activities and socializing. An arrival platform with an infinity pool overlooks the valley below, connected to the main house by a graceful ramp. Additionally, a bridge leads from the pool deck to the villa’s rooftop, providing an elevated outdoor lounge area.

Skyhaven Residence in Lebanon by BLANKPAGE Architects — The villa’s construction blends raw and refined materials, with an inner shell of exposed concrete complemented by an outer layer of corrugated concrete, adorned with rosemary plants.

Drawing inspiration from the house’s geometry and the site’s topography, the landscape design incorporates cascading lawn terraces toward the valley and agricultural terraces on the opposite side. A semi-buried office pavilion with a green roof adds a touch of tranquility, while stone retaining walls define the agricultural terraces.

Powered by an array of solar panels, the residence achieves full autonomy on sunny days, enhancing its status as a serene sanctuary nestled in the embrace of nature.
