High above the valleys of Zaarour, Wild Refuge stands as a dialogue between nature and architecture. Conceived as a private mountain villa, the project redefines the idea of retreat, balancing comfort, fluidity, and quiet luxury within a landscape of raw beauty.

The 346 sqm home anchors itself in the slope through gabion walls and a palette of earthy materials: travertino cladding, beige concrete, and soft metal detailing. These tones and textures echo the surrounding terrain, creating a structure that feels grown rather than built. The visual rhythm of stone and concrete is interrupted only by soft light, indirect, warm, and continuous, wrapping every curve and corner with calm.

Inside, space flows without interruption. The living area opens to the horizon through floor-to-ceiling glazing, framing the valley as part of daily life. Three bedrooms sit in quiet balance along a private axis, while an underground parking level preserves the purity of the landscape above. Each line, threshold, and proportion is designed to reflect ease, the feeling of being at home within nature’s embrace.

The client’s lifestyle shaped every decision. Known for hosting gatherings and PR events, the villa is designed as both sanctuary and stage. The landscape unfolds into three distinct experiences: a pool terrace that merges seamlessly with the living space, a bohemian-style bar tucked within the rear garden for intimate evenings, and a panoramic rooftop with a barbecue zone overlooking the mountains, each space crafted for a different rhythm of gathering.

Wild Refuge is more than a residence; it is an orchestrated experience. The architecture listens to light, material, and sound, using them to create a sense of balance between intimacy and openness. Travertine and concrete meet soft landscaping, while natural ventilation and orientation ensure year-round comfort with minimal environmental impact.

In the end, Wild Refuge is a home that dissolves boundaries: between architecture and land, between solitude and celebration. It is a reminder that true luxury is not excess, but alignment, a design that flows as effortlessly as the life it holds.
