High-rise 961

Ashrafieh,Lebanon

Plot area: 5 700 m2

Num. of floors: 21

For more than ten years, demographic growth, changes in lifestyles and new technologies have imposed growth in urban space and created a housing crisis, coupled with demand sustained by the various social layers residing within the city.

This project is about creating spacesto integrate nature into each floor by creating a floor different than the one below it and above it.

Creating elevated gardens

Splitting the 2 appartements so that the light enters the living room enhancing the air and sun quality in every room.

It is about thinking about the deep interaction that exists between structure, volume and space. The bond that unites them is at the origin of their truth and therefore of their ethical and aesthetic beauty.

The large structure must therefore be visible and influential on the architecture. It will define the identity of the project.

While the main entrance from the city has an direct access to the mall, the second entrance from behind is accessed by steps connected to a big terrace.

Spot area: 3 650m2

Number of floors: 2

We are proposing a project called “Lebanese Red Cross Centre” to be able to assist later and in the long term during a critical period like the ‘Corona-virus’ pandemic So we have designed a red cross centre with a block where we’ll use it during another pandemic.

This project is about reminding us the the only job for recuers is to keep us alive, in other term keep our pulse beating.

Additional projects

-This realistic model of an exsisting house in Qornet el hamra,Lebanon up to scale 1:50.

-The 3D composition uses 3 different module with different materials (wood and concrete) the main idea behind it is to create out of regular shapes a volume with a play of mass and void.

-Located in Baghdad,Iraq this compound of multiple blocks needed an area for breathing and relaxing and more importantly for gathering.

Many activities are put in one place : run track, kids area, food court, sitting area, meditation area.
