Building Tabsh

Notes

Architect Nicolas Yazigi worked on the project at the office of J. P. Karam. The huge concrete columns of the ground floor rise from a square to a large clover section in plan, allowing for large spans in the basement, and smaller ones in the upper floors. The building had a bee-hive effect that partially protected the glass from the harsh western sun. It was recently disfigured during renovation and the balconies were demolished, giving way to a flat elevation.
