Byblos Resort
How does a resort belong to its coast rather than sit upon it? Byblos Resort steps down the hillside in stone-clad terraces — each residence opens to the Mediterranean while gardens, pools and shaded decks knit the volumes back into the slope.

The brief was a small collection of residences and shared spaces above the sea at Jbeil. Rather than a single mass, the resort breaks into low stone volumes that follow the contours — timber balconies and planted setbacks soften every level, so the architecture reads as part of the terraced Lebanese coast rather than an object placed upon it.
Inside, the palette stays calm and tactile: pale stone floors, warm timber soffits, and full-height glazing that frames the water. Living spaces open onto deep shaded terraces and plunge pools, extending the rooms outward and keeping the sea present from the moment you arrive.
