Back To Nature is an outdoor
escape in the hills of Chnaniir. Back to nature also hosts fun activities for
children and events. It’s a creative and fun way to foster a love of the
outdoors. The Terrain is located on a slope looking at the valley that
dominates jounieh.
The plan resulted in a series of
volumes stacked above each other to form a space for everyone. The modular
project using shipping containers creates a modern and unique look. The
surprising element in our design is the orange colored vertical standing
container, a vibrant color providing a bright contrast to the building’s grey
colors. The shipping containers provide a low cost solution to gathering people
under one roof.
Back to nature by its nature and
architectural conception creates a link with its surrounding forests. We’ve
endeavored to preserve as many trees as possible but letting the trees cut
openings into our ceilings which also allow natural daylight to filter into the
building.
The design lends a great level of freedom to the
composition by playing with its volumes and avoiding traditional simple
stacking mode which would have referred to the traditional function of a
container in a linear way. The trick was to play with the different positions
of the containers providing transparency and lightness to the building and
enriching the indoor and outdoor spaces.These containers contain both form and space. Together they form an
abstract but strong sign. Minimum effort, maximum output.
