Project summary

A street mall between two roads.

A linear retail and leisure destination on Plot 492 Qoubbeh, Khaldeh — stretched along the Beirut–Saida highway and stepping down an inclined site fully open to the Mediterranean.

Two roads, one slope to the sea.

The 13,000 m² plot is framed by two parallel roads linking Beirut to Saida. To the east, the main highway gives the project its commercial frontage and direct access to the highway shops. To the west, the old coastal road serves a second line of street shops at the lower level. Between them, the land falls steadily and is entirely oriented toward the sea. The section is used as an asset: every level gains a frontage, a terrace or a view.

Driven by the deep blue sea.

Linear along the highway, the mall opens at its centre toward a rear pedestrian piazza overlooking the sea. White aluminium canopies and structures, inspired by the sails of passing boats, fold and tilt above the shopfronts. They catch the light, filter the sun and draw the visitor from the road into an experience connected to the water. Shops and restaurants on several levels are tied together by a continuous promenade — wide stairs, bleachers and escalators that double as scenic stops facing the sea.

A linear spine, an opening to the sea The highway frontage runs as one continuous line of shops, split at its centre by a generous opening. This passage leads visitors to a rear piazza overlooking the sea, where the restaurants, stairs and bleachers step down toward the coastal road.

White, blue and yellow.

A restrained palette with a twist: discreet from afar, vivid once inside. Material and colour work together to make the street mall a landmark on the highway — present without shouting.

White: Sail canopies, perforated aluminium, light concrete. The white catches the Mediterranean light and makes the building legible from the highway.

Deep Blue Mosaic water features, the cascading stair and the promenade floor — the sea brought into the heart of the project
