Adjacent to a central transportation artery for the city of Beirut, and situated at the nexus of two urban fabrics, this design negotiates issues of scale, unit diversity, views and zoning regulations. Stacked glass boxes emerge from a massing, which is positioned to maximize buildable area.
Cantilevering balconies and terraces take their cue from the character of the old urban fabric while creating a vertical neighborhood rich with panoramic views of the downtown, the city and the sea. Shading louvres provide relief from abundant east and west sunlight while creating zones of outdoor privacy and facilitating a green screen. Located at the edge of development and demarcation, the project blurs lines while innovating on the Beirut high-rise typology.

Nice. Please explain the sleeping rooms off the balconies.
well said
wonderful renderings! it’s a shame there will be only one building, though.
love it. i’d feel pretty exposed on those balconies though, especially if the wind is blowing! scary
NiCe :)
Excellent job accent
Well done
I just love how the housekeeper has a “big” bedroom and a WC with no tub…
Nice project and concept, but the floor plans are awful.
The maid´s room and the fire-escape stair just don´t look right.
main facade solution is very nice, but plans should be developed more carefully…
unique, enovative and original, love it…..
