Located at the entrance of Batroon/ Lebanon this mixed use building will be dedicated to retail at ground floor level and to offices in the upper floors. Three basements will be dedicated for parking and services
to the building.
the proximity to the sea, and exposure to sea salt
spraying all over, has always been an issue in Batroon
like all coastal cities.
many questions are asked:
how to protect the building from sea salt?
how to protect the occupants from humidity?
what material to use?
degree of sunlight exposure in the offices?
low cost on long run -> ecology / sustainability?
the architectural approach is based on the integration of a filter that forms a kind of upscale resolution "mousharrabieh" separating the building from the street.
this "moucharabieh" will:
1- reduce humidity through the wood's absorption coefficient.
2- filtering the salt coming from sea water spraying
3- create a cooling buffer zone : the "moucharabieh" effect
4- create a screen for better privacy of the offices
5- block direct sunlight in the early afternoon. although sunlight will penetrate to purify the air in late afternoon after office working hours (west orientation)
to the building.
