Description of Project:
As part of the Master plan for the Sabra & Chatila District, LACECO was entrusted with the design development of a low-cost housing project, designed to house some of the families living within makeshift accommodation in the southern suburbs.
The resulting project encompasses a district with 60 7-storey buildings with 810 apartments, served by a number of shops and with adequate parking services for residents. More than 60% of the site area was provided as open landscaped areas, offering much needed leisure and play space.
The project was planned in the area with the least density, allowing, upon completion and relocation of the existing tenants into the new buildings, a surplus equal to two-thirds of its capacity to house relocated tenants from other parts of the district, which will in turn liberate further parcels and drive the upgrading process of the neighborhood.
