The urban hill project is located in the village of Qobayat, Akkar, North Lebanon. We were approached to design a residential complex to be built on several phases. By using the natural slope of the land, we challenged ourselves to provide a garden or a prominent outdoor space to each of the six-unit apartment building. Knowing the competitiveness of the market and with a uniform building typography in the area, we believe that this unorthodox approach would create a project with distinctive characteristics in a competitive real estate market.
Using the natural inclination of the land, our concept was achieved by applying a non-uniform orientation to the building units, each taking into account an access to an outdoor garden, natural light and ventilation.
