SB Architects won an international design competition to complete the master plan and design for this expansive mixed-use development which will command a prominent location on Beirut’s waterfront. Located adjacent to the existing Khoury Marina and designed to create a new urban destination, the project’s core area focuses on an iconic seaside Esplanade which will embrace the waterfront and provide access to a carefully-planned mix of cafes, boutiques, apartments, townhouses, offices and a boutique hotel. The architecture is a thoughtful mix of traditional and contemporary elements chosen to honor Beirut’s rich architectural heritage, while providing the backdrop for a modern, 24-7 live/work environment.
