Project Description
Our proposal for a hyper dense housing project located in the Badaro neighborhood of Beirut is based on the idea of communal living. By minimizing the building footprint and maximizing the built-up area vertically, the remaining majority of the plot is imagined as an urban park that connects the project to the rest of the neighborhood, well-known for its eucalyptus tree-lined streets and discreet green pockets. The ‘enfilade’ typology of the building, continues outside and connects to the vegetated park below through a series of planted outdoor corridors. Above, the suspended townhouses are topped with green houses, simultaneously transparent and reflective, diffusing natural light and dissipating heat throughout the building.
