PINWHEEL DEVELOPMENT STUDY

2009 – 2013, BEIRUT, LEBANON

‘Pinwheel’ is the development of a whole new neighbourhood located between the old city of Beirut, the ‘Main Land’, and a new area of reclaimed land in the city’s port, known as the ‘New Continent’. This mixed-use development comprises two blocks of development – south and north of Wafik Sinno Avenue. The overall language of the development is one of transparency, shade, cool and vegetation, with winter gardens and roof gardens a particular feature.
