GD RESIDENCE

Dbayeh, Lebanon , 2020

On a cliff, with a panoramic sea view, GD Residence settles with a 9m cantilevering pool. Respecting the topography, the structure positions itself with the landscape, stratifying all layers vertically. As the program changes from basement level to upper levels, the limits of each slab vary to allow for sun and wind to flow on all levels. The residence consists of 5 floors. The first floor defines a transition between the landscape and the structure. The guest floor extends within the support of the cantilevering pool, creating one aesthetic reading while the remaining 3 floors lie on the pool level. A continuous flow of landscape is evident in the structure, as one can easily circulate and connect throughout the various levels. The structure remains true to its skeleton as it embodies concrete as a whole material for the residence.
