Building Zahar

Notes

As one approaches the Zahar Apartment Building, situated in Ashrafiyeh, Beirut, a neighborhood with a tradition of mansions, houses and buildings amidst gardens, one faces a luxurious garden across the pilotis, whereas the entrance is situated on the side. The use of stone and careful detailing adds to the tactile quality of the building. Resolutely modern, this is one of many buildings designed by Rais that exude a sense of context.
