Aley,
Lebanon
12,000
m2
Located on the crest of a
hill, this villa culminates with an infinity pool that seems to blend earth and
sky. With a dominating view of Beirut and the Mediterranean Sea, the garden
spirals down a hill rendered magical by 50-year-old pine trees and the
breathtaking 360-degree view. Here, the setting itself remains the focus, with
a landscape that respects the magnificence of the location.
The
wonderful thing about this house from the late forties is its spiraling garden
that encircles the hill, tempting one to take a hypnotic stroll down through the
grounds, slowly uncovering new patches of pleasures; a bar, an infinity pool, a
rose garden, a pond, a shaded sitting garden, and of course, the larger than
life panorama.
The
guide to designing this project was the steep nature of the terrain, with its
impressive trees towering throughout, allowing for the creation of a young
garden with an old soul. This is especially visible in the contrast between the
lush green of the obedient lawns and shrubs and the half-century-old
magnificent defiance of pines, cypresses, and cedars.
While
the villa has no shortage of astounding views, it is from the fabulous heights
of the infinity pool that the view is best enjoyed, as it seems to vanish
endlessly beyond the city and into the immense horizon.
