Named after a fragmented house in Japan, this house was born from Jossan and Zeina’s desire for a weekend retreat in Faqra. As their three boys grow, the house gradually adapts to their evolving independence. Four natural stone volumes sit beneath a rusted metal slab, while a fifth one, covered this time in metal, extends on the roof. Three ground-floor volumes house a bedroom each, while the western one contains a kitchen with its own independent entrance. The remaining sample, well lit and ample, glazed to the north and south, becomes the natural in-between — the entry and shared living area for gathering and dining.

In the garden, a series of platforms, extending the interior fragmentation, pave the way to a sitting area, a cold plunge, a rectangular heated pool, and a guest pavilion — like a child who has grown up and started to gain independence while still wishing to remain within the family realm. For the pleasure of being in Faqra, Moriyama is an environment blurred between inside and outside, immersed in nature.
