Stone Garden Housing, Beirut (Lebanon)

Lina Ghotmeh 


Lording over the rooftops of the Lebanese capital is a residential tower, a stony presence which is a high-rise interpretation of the city’s complex history and chaotic allure.

An unscathed survivor of the devastating explosion that befell the nearby Port of Beirut, the sculptural block contains apartments which are laid out differently but all endowed with a garden terrace.

The massive facade of cement mixed with earth – striated to express the timeless character of sediments deposited over time – presents openings of varying proportions, personalizing each residential floor.
