Built on juxtaposed fleeting memories of an Ashrafieh living, the glass pavilion is,
A garden around a glass house…
A garden inside a glass house…
A textured ethereal roof, like the white lace curtains of heritage houses…
A gently curving roof, reminiscing the passage of the French and their ornamental subway entrances…
A wooden sundeck, continuous from inside out to maximize the exposure to the mediterrean weather, always clement and inviting…
Inside, the only colored element: a yellow marble wall, thin as a stage set, standing below the roof and not even touching…
A yellow marble wall on a yellow building, a green roof on a building with shutters painted green… A dematerialized glass pavilion for a new Ashrafieh living.
Project Status: Unbuilt.
