As we said earlier, the project highlight the role of Beirut as a tourist, commercial, and entertainment center while adding green spaces to the city on the ground level. The project consists of three non-identical towers on levels covered with limestone cladding all over its facade and includes shops and cafeterias at the ground level.
The towers compromise also many amenities such as a nursery, a gym center, and an exposition hall.
It is located in the central area of Beirut within the sector known as Solidere, an area known for its luxury buildings.
On the ground level, the design takes into consideration pedestrian traffic through the corridors connecting the historic center with the port on the south side, and the upper tower rises to the inside to provide a green courtyard. (As shown in the photo beside) The plot location of the project and due to its closeness to the seafront of the city has been provided with a relevant landscape study regarding managing and creating new walkways and public green areas. Thus, combining the lot with the sea dock is not a choice.
Almost all the residential units have been sold and many facilities have been opened for the residents like the gym, the pool, and the automobile exhibition room.
Project No. 1282 is a residential development located in the northern suburbs of Beirut (Precisely An-Nahr District) next to an abandoned railway station, military buildings, uninhabited agricultural land, and a 30 m wide highway.
The towers compromise also many amenities such as a nursery, a gym center, and an exposition hall.
It is located in the central area of Beirut within the sector known as Solidere, an area known for its luxury buildings.
The project’s central foyer has been moved backward to leave space for a landscaped courtyard with plenty of plantations and waterfalls.
Luke Fox, a senior office assistant at Foster + Partners, said they are very pleased to accomplish the construction of 3Beirut, which is the result of close cooperation between the client and Foster + Partners.
The north side of ‘3Beirut’ benefit from large glass windows, allowing the residents to enjoy the incredible views of the pier and the sea, whereas the southern side includes green roofs and balconies.
The difference in levels of the towers provides a significant amount of privacy for the residents.
