The design proposal for NAAS Springs, a well-known wellness center and place of relaxation in Beirut, is formed by a series of walls projecting into nature. They alternate between large living spaces with roofs for residences and uncovered elongated spaces for the passages, which form an extension of nature. Designed by Hapsitus Architects, the architectural landscape is created in the spirit of water following down a sloped terrain. More images and architects’ description after the break.
The location for our project scheme spreads over a topographical edge of the site, which is at the highest point of the site, at the intersection between the flat area and the strong slope. The ‘in-between ‘passages are the breathing spaces leading to nature, which could conceivably end with a sculpture or other feature, with the pine trees as a backdrop.
