Some houses are designed to stand out on the block, but other architects choose to go with a much more subtle design such as this one by Raed Abillama Architects. The Villa Yarze is located in Lebanon, and blends in well with the natural brown and earthy colorings.
The architects made the most of the pre-existing space, and tried to adjust the design by going with a more open-concept area. The result is a spacious interior, which is even complete with a pool on the outside. For the landscape, the designers used shrubbery and trees found in the area, so nothing looks out of place. As such the house as a whole works well with the natural setting.
