LE PASSAGE, Block 46-08, Serviced Furnished Apartments, SPA and Wellness Center
Lot 1338, Block 46-08. Conceived as the fifth magnet within the regeneration of Beirut city center, this site is intrinsically linked to Beirut Souks. Located on Patriarch Hoyek Street, the principal vehicular approach to the Waterfront District, it is the last segment within the pedestrian network that connects the Hotel District to the commercial city center. The project includes retail, restaurants and cafés, high-end serviced furnished apartments, Spa and Wellness Center. The scheme achieves a successful massing response to the local context by means of a well-planned arrangement and the introduction of a central courtyard, which creates a public destination within the development. The residential wing is entered from the southwest corner, the calmest part of the site, and enjoys easy access to the courtyard with its many public elements. A connection on the rooftop offers access to the spa, roof garden and sun terrace with its spectacular views. The retail component facing Beirut Souks is highly visible and easily accessible creating a vibrant new commercial area. The stores, restaurants and cafés will benefit from the additional pedestrian traffic that is to cross the courtyard. The wellness center features top design, equipment and professionals to cater for a demanding clientele. A variety of access points respond to the unique needs of each potential client, and the interior spaces have strong sensitivity to light and privacy requirements.
