Starting with the 100 year old home
This residential project revitalizes a 100-year-old, single-story stone house that withstood the Lebanese civil war. Preserving its historic stonework, we infused a modern twist into the design, seamlessly blending heritage with contemporary living to create a unique, new home for a big family.

For the original stone house, we used white paint so the new addition complements rather than competes, and incorporated corten steel to blend with the surroundings and complete the missing historic elements
