“3-fab chalets” are located in Laqlouq, Lebanon. At an elevation of 1,780m, the site is close by a skiing resort and along a hiking trail; the small scale chalets are an outpost to nature. The originally sloped site has been split to two plateaus; the upper opening to the kids’ bedrooms and the lower to the living areas. The lower plateau is elevated from the road to maintain privacy and enjoy an uninterrupted scenery of the mountains chain beyond. The living quarters are tucked in the stone masonry construction that fences and terraces the site, with three cantilevered structures housing the sleeping quarters above. With their E-W orientation, the asymmetry of the pitched roof, a regulatory requirement, maximizes the slope and area for the southern side to host the solar panels atop.
The project services make use of the abundance of sun and rain to sustain operating with minimal carbon footprint.
