This aerial view presents a contemporary residential complex nestled into a densely forested hillside, rendered as an architectural visualization with remarkable atmospheric detail. Scanning from the upper portion downward, distant wooded slopes recede into soft blue-grey mist, creating depth through atmospheric haze. The primary structure occupies the central and right portions of the frame, consisting of interconnected rectangular volumes clad in cool grey-blue stacked stone with a texture suggesting rough-hewn mineral surfaces. Multiple flat roofs support living green plantings that continue the verdant character of surrounding forest, their soft grass-like surfaces contrasting with the angular geometry below. Moving toward the left, a wooden pergola structure with warm honey-colored horizontal louvers shelters an outdoor terrace, its timber warmth providing tactile contrast to the cool stone. A dramatic waterfall cascades through the center of the composition, emerging from boulder formations integrated into the building mass, the falling water catching light as silver-white threads against dark rock. Broad stairs in pale limestone tones descend through terraced garden areas punctuated by green plantings in geometric beds. White and cream upholstered outdoor furniture, suggesting soft plush texture, populates various terraces. The lower portion features a cantilevered pool deck extending over the cliff edge, supporting a rectangular infinity pool filled with clear aquamarine water that appears cool and refreshing, its surface reflecting sky. The surrounding forest creates an embrace of deep green foliage with warm yellow-green highlights where morning sun penetrates the canopy. Soft diffused light suggests early morning atmosphere with gentle warmth beginning to emerge through lingering mist.
The Residential Villa in the mountains of Lebanon is integrated with its surrounding nature. Its design consists of 2 L-shaped structures on the ground floor, which interact together to create an internal green patio, visible from all spaces in the house. This concept was thought of in order to avoid having corridors in the house, for aesthetic reasons as well as for avoiding loss of space. A cedar tree was planted in the internal patio,it being the emblem of the country found on the national flag , becoming the heart of the house.
