Private Villa 12

Mansourieh, Lebanon

Client: Private Client

This private villa stands as a landmark architectural statement — a dialogue between Lebanon’s past and its contemporary future. An original Lebanese house forms the base of the project, preserving its historic identity, while two new modern stories were constructed above it. The result is a striking composition that bridges eras, where heritage architecture meets clean modern geometry. The upper volumes were cladded with Terrazzo Slabs, introducing precision, uniformity, and a contemporary material expression. Outdoors, GRC elements and Fourney tiles were integrated to enhance durability and define the landscape areas with structured elegance. The contrast between the preserved traditional structure and the newly added modern layers creates a powerful architectural narrative — rooted in history yet confidently forward-looking. Designed by Georges Bertrand Ghosn, this project represents a bold reinterpretation of Lebanese residential architecture.
