Capsule Retreat, a project by East Architecture Studio, is a modern residential house situated against an ancient landscape characterized by sandstone outcrops and alpine villages. The house overlooks the coniferous forests of Mount Lebanon.
During the development of the project, special attention was paid to the physical characteristics of the terrain. The design process moved away from aesthetic impressions towards a more physiological approach that considers the layering inherent in the materiality of this place.
The starting point for integrating design practice into the environment was the concepts of incompleteness and low-tech construction solutions typical of rural areas.
