The Raja Saab Chalet (1953) by Ferdinand Dagher in Ouzai, Lebanon

The Raja Saab Chalet is a prominent example of mid-century modernist architecture located along the former Acapulco Beach in Ouzai, Lebanon. Designed by Lebanese architect Ferdinand Dagher and completed in 1953, the structure is widely recognized for its distinctive, futuristic shape, which earned it the local nickname of the "flying saucer" or "UFO."

Architecturally, the chalet is elevated entirely off the ground by four flared concrete pillars, lifting the cylindrical main body to maximize views of the Mediterranean coast. Access to the elevated living space is provided through a central, exposed spiral staircase wrapped in a minimal steel mesh. Inside, the layout features a ring-shaped floor plan that surrounds this central core, utilizing built-in mid-century fixtures and curved windows to optimize space and light. The building stands as a key historical artifact from Lebanon’s era of pre-war coastal development and architectural experimentation.
