WORKac’s Papillon is a villa for an art collector on the shores of the Mediterranean, providing privacy, planting and hanging space for a Lebanese family
This spectacular villa for an art collector is perched on the edge of the beach in the Lebanese town of Batroun, about 50km north of Beirut. Villa Papillon, so called because of its butterfly-like arrangement of folded roof planes and angles, was designed by WORKac, a New York-based architecture studio founded by Rhode Islander Dan Wood and Beirut-born Amale Andraos. The project architect for the scheme was Maurizio Bianchi Mattioli.
Villa Papillon is designed for privacy, with a solid rear façade that gives little away. Within, as well as the direct beach access, an expansive deck wraps around the seafront, with a triangular swimming pool inset in one corner, lined with Bisazza glass mosaic tiles and surrounded by a coping of Carrara marble.
