Overview

The KFR Project involves the renovation of an old, abandoned house. The stone walls on the ground floor will be preserved,
with some alterations to the interior for functional enhancements. On the first floor, the addition will blend with the
traditional house architecture at certain points, while at other times, it will depart from tradition by incorporating elements
of greenery and modernism.
This approach seeks to harmonize the preservation of historical elements with the infusion of contemporary and sustainable
design principles.

Location

Situated in Kfour, a picturesque village nestled on the mountainside in Kesserwan, KFR overlooks Jounieh's bay area.
Perched atop a small hill, the house enjoys an elevated position, providing an uninterrupted and breathtaking sea view.

Perspectives

The first floor, when added, either seamlessly aligns with the ground floor in certain instances or establishes a smooth
transition between the old and new structures through the use of fair-faced concrete and claustra walls. The claustra wall
contributes to a semi-private ambiance, particularly near the Master Bedroom patio.

Concept

The concept of the house came from the desire to preserve the ground floor, complete with its stone walls, arched windows,
and surrounding landscape. Therefore, we discreetly added a floor on top.
To keep the interior disposition of the house almost intact, the staircase was added to the exterior, beautifully connecting
the old and the new.
