Mqarmideh

Mqarmideh is a term used in some areas of Lebanon to refer to a specific type of arched window or doorway. These architectural features are characterized by a distinctive multi-lobed arch, often resembling a series of small curves or scallops along the top. The style is typically associated with traditional Lebanese homes and buildings and can be found in both older and newer constructions that aim to evoke a sense of heritage. While the precise origin of the term and the specific stylistic variations it encompasses are not universally documented, it is understood within local architectural and construction contexts. The degree of curvature and detailing within the Mqarmideh arch can vary, reflecting regional differences and individual preferences.
