This coastal development project in Dbayeh, Lebanon aims to become a mixed-use sustainable city that overlooks the Mediterranean Sea. Knowing that it will be divided into three main zones – business, commercial and residential – we sought to enhance the new district’s connectivity using a seaward promenade. Providing this amenity meant offering the residents an extension of their inner-city spaces through a diverse set of decorative ornamental designs. We thus proposed various public gardens and courtyards within the urban zones to cater for the users’ recreational activities. These were laid out along a framework of lateral and longitudinal axes which aided in preserving the visual corridors towards the sea and ensuring a seamless connection between the various green spaces. The gardens are also strewn atop the roofs of buildings to enhance the owners’ experience of this luxury district along the coast.
