Text description provided by the architects. The architecture of Eresta House emerges from paradoxical limitations. Set in the breath-taking landscape of Akoura and Nahr Ibrahim, the site’s immediate surroundings are ad-hoc buildings that limit its exposure to the scenery. Built on the remnants of an ancestral home that was attached by a party wall to a neighboring building, the client asked to rethink the shared party wall condition in line with a new autonomous architecture, the need for privacy and at the same time exposure to the views, the need for security during their absence and complete transparency to the outdoors when the house is inhabited.
