Deir Ghbar Residence

A house that started as a fairly conventional brief and ended up somewhere more particular.

The client's initial request was for something close to a neighbouring house they admired. Over several months of conversation the brief shifted toward a plan organised around a double-height stair hall, which became the one room in the house every other space is arranged to be seen from. It's the kind of change that only happens when a client is willing to keep talking past the first answer.
