Landscape Concept Design Narrative

Landscape Concept Design By: Francis Landscapes

The tranquillity and drama of this setting, magnified by the breeze in the trees, has inspired the landscape architectural design of this residence located on the northern coastline of Lebanon. From the minute, you step into this Mediterranean yet tropical property, you’re immersed in a dreamy setup engulfed by luxury, comfort and serenity.

Smells of exotic fruits fill the Orchard with lemon and pomegranate trees along with colourful tones of Oleander, framing the vehicular entrance.

The leading driveway is made of aggregate concrete to withstand the heavy loads and storms. The sound of pea gravel stretched all over the orchard, crackle under your feet as you forge your way in. Large strips of stepping stones sitting on a bed of white pebbles walk you to the stairs leading to the hidden garden.

Two majestic olive trees guide you to the main house entrance coming from the pedestrian access where a simple hidden black fence hints at the undiscovered little island of pleasure you’re about to enter.

The front garden, designed like a patio, is surrounded by walls adorned with plants and water elements for a welcoming and private space.

Not only does this green space provide pockets of tranquillity, it creates a buffer zone and a green natural fence to distort the noise and embrace the house.

Two brown patches of a beautifully carved wooden deck occupy the seaside terrace: one leads to a recessed seating area where a warm fire and a fresh breeze are there to regulate your temperature according to your needs. A water channel crafts its way in an axial tracing and ends in a circular sphere shaped water feature.

The second parallel patch leading from the living room will escort you towards the infinity pool which boasts spectacular views with the

glimmering ocean beyond. The deck is bordered by white pebbles on one end whereas on the other end it sits on a water channel as a reminiscence of the prominent use of water throughout the site. The green berms of manicured lawns beneath the deck reveal a few steps towards the swimming pool, plunging you straight you into the solemn oasis which slowly starts revealing itself.

Grab a beverage at the outdoor floating bar and sip it in the pool’s sunken stools while enjoying a sun-kissed vibe reigning all around.

Making the most out of its waterfront setting, a shallow pool area is integrated within the swimming pool. On its right extremity, a relaxation island with white loungers and floating drapes will take you to a whole level of ultimate relaxation setting the ideal spa mood.

This seaside residence is an oasis of rejuvenation and peace where every exquisite detail has been thought out and carefully excuted.
