When searching for a more secluded location for a getaway home, this family settled on the Lebanon mountains to set up a luxury retreat<\/strong><\/em>, the only thing missing? The keen eye of an incredible interior designer such as Thierry Lemaire<\/strong><\/em>.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis house was conceived by two people with very different personalities<\/em>,\u201d Nicolas Garzouzi remarks of the luxury retreat<\/strong><\/em><\/span> he shares with his wife, Mich\u00e8le, and their two sons in the Lebanese ski resort of Faqra. \u201cNicolas is very rigorous and never leaves anything to chance<\/em>,\u201d notes their interior designer<\/strong>, the Paris based Thierry Lemaire<\/strong><\/em><\/span>.<\/p>\n

Dominated by gnarled limestone formations, the immediate surroundings are moonlike and magical. The landscaping of the garden was overseen by Vladimir Djurovic<\/strong>, whose most sweeping gesture was the relocation of excavated rocks to create a stalagmite-style screen for the pool by the luxury retreat<\/strong><\/em>\u2019s main entrance. The house\u2019s architect, Rae\u0308d Abillama<\/strong>, meanwhile, chose to clad the ground-level fac\u0327ade with slabs of stone from the property. It took local artisans<\/strong> two years to assemble them.<\/p>\n
