DBAYEH, Lebanon
A bigger splash
The sea view is as impressive as the architecture in the coastal Lebanese home of Laura and Raëd Abillama, whose eponymous architecture practice drew the lines of this imposing hillside oasis. In 2020, Laura, Raëd and their two sons moved from downtown Beirut to its suburb Dbayeh, a coastal town bordering the Mediterranean Sea. Placed right on the hillside edge, the 5-story abode offers sweeping views all around.
Meet the owners
Against the Mediterranean backdrop, Laura and Raëd have created a bespoke coastal home for their family, which includes their dog, Nanuk. A hypnotising staircase in titanium travertine with an invisible glass rail turns climb and descent into an elevated design experience.
