Sakeit El Misk House

Perched 900 meters above sea level in Lebanon, the Sakeit El Misk House takes advantage of the elevation to ensure every room has a view — even the garage. The sprawling hilltop dwelling is divided into two volumes. The first is a low-lying building that spans the length of the property and houses a vehicular reception space, indoor pool, a spa, a gym, and staff quarters. Although most of the facade is opaque to block the property from the street, the garage is clad in glass to allow in vistas of the pine garden. The three-story main residence is located on the site's northwestern corner and contains the primary bedroom, kitchen, and reception space. With its glazed facade, the volume enjoys sweeping views of the landscape, while a wooden louvers system provides privacy when needed.

Tinto Amorio Orange Wine Sampler

Tinto Amorio shakes up the wine list with its Orange Wine sampler. The duet disrupts the typical red and white offerings to deliver notes of tropical lychee, apricot, peach, and mandarine. Its distinct hue isn't the only thing that sets it apart. The Los Angeles-based artisanal wine brand crafts its wines with minimal intervention, using hand-harvested fruits, wild yeast, and reduced sulfur. All the wines are made with organic certified ingredients, fermented dry to 0 grams of total sugars, and vegan. Even the wax seals on the bottles are applied by family and friends and feature artwork with significance and meaning.
