The chalet is entered straight into its main room, and the landscape is present from the first step. The kitchen and its shelving form a solid core on one side, so cooking, storage and display are gathered together and the rest of the floor stays free. The living area opens towards the windows, and the route ends at a corner set aside for meals, where seating is built in and the view surrounds the table.
Oak gives the room its warmth. On the kitchen block it becomes lit shelving, with light set into the joinery so the wood glows in the evening. White marble tops the island, a cool, hard surface that contrasts with the timber. On the sofa, grey upholstery is lifted by teal and lime, echoing the greens outside. Sheer curtains run the height of the glass walls, filtering daylight and giving privacy without losing the hills. The chalet is in Lebanon.
