One of the structures must be embedded into the landscape (Warley woods). This is basically somehow Implanting the structure so that it becomes ingrained within the woods. I have looked at existing architecture that has been implanted within the landscape for some inspiration for my own ideas.

Section
Within a huge existing pine forest environment, T-project is a villa situated on a considerably sloping rocky site naturally leveled framing a superb perspective of green mountains and Beirut city scape. The Villa communicates explicitly with this described natural context kept intact. The Architects took into consideration the immediate context and the client as primordial elements contributing in the creation of diverse spatial agendas concerning the identity of the overall project image. It is simple and monumental externally complex and organic internally creating quite an interesting contrast. As a result, the intervention produces a duality between the external & the internal discovery of the created moments. A minimal architectural Impact is experienced on the terraced roof structure highlighting mostly the power of inhabiting nature and overlooking Beirut’s horizons.
This multi sided functional aspect led the architects to a simple intervention by using only two planes sometimes freestanding clearly triggering a conscious spatial empowerment where we become aware of the villa’s presence on site and some other times leaving the space free to disappear between the rocky site levels and its trees. As a result the villa has only one glass façade expanding on 50m length reminding us of natural caves where the inhabitant lives a cycle of safety and threat.

Location Plan
N-Project BY YOUSSEF TOHME ARCHITECTS
Project Total Area: 500sqm
N-Project located in Lebanon is a residential building. An undulating white concrete structure, this villa, inserted into a steeply sloped site, is organized around a triple-height patio that offers an open view in the mountain resort of Faqra. Entry from the road is through the uppermost level via a connecting walkway. The roof also serves as parking space. The elements of the project overlap, from top to bottom: the master bedroom and living room; the reception area, linked to the central courtyard; and other bedrooms that open onto the landscape.
