From Tarek Ahmadieh

A Lebanese traditional Limestone 19th century house partially renovated; un-traditionally; to become as organic and as green as could be while maintaining functionality and keeping itself a vibrant place of the soul. Tradition meets modernity in a special way depicted in each of the rooms done yet. An notable blend of Lebanese, Mediterranean, and Modern architecture meet in one place with a special atmosphere.
