Perched on a hilltop in Lebanon’s Batroun region, Skyhaven is a concrete villa that unfolds as a balcony in nature, offering sweeping views of a lush valley and the Mediterranean Sea. Designed as two homes within a single volume—one for the resident and another for his parents—the house follows the terrain in an arc shape and extends from the cliff on concrete corbels. Fully glazed living areas, an infinity pool, a rooftop lounge, and a meditation room inspired by Japanese architecture enhance the connection to the landscape. Powered by solar panels, the residence operates off-grid in sunny weather.
