Platau-renovated Wadi penthouse in Beirut’s Wadi Abu Jamil district is one the most unusual penthouses you’ll ever see.

This spacious villa is situated in Tremelo (BE), on a large terrain surrounded by pines. The house was designed for a couple with two children, who wanted something “special”.

That’s why I think that harmony is one of the most important features when designing...
Dune House With Unique Architecture And Lots of White Inside
I’m convinced that architects make the most original houses and interiors only for themselves – especially if both in the couple are architects.
