Being next to the Casino and
close to several hotels, resorts and touristic destinations, the site has great
potential of hosting a multi-purpose project. The site provides a good setting to host a public
intervention as well.
The proposal takes inspiration
from the surrounding landscape, and context reflected through the pierced
structure inspired from Jounieh’s highway and how it pierced through the landscape,
acting as a spine to serve the function along both of its side. The emphasis of
the design was set upon creating two elements, shaped by their smooth
decoration upward resembling the original landscape and available view of the
store.
Element is the continuation of
the Highway which pierces through the topography, and it functions just the
same as a spine distributing the flow to the function along its sides, the
degradation of the volumes was inspired by the topography of the site and by
its direction which is towards the sea view.
