Situated in the Mediterranean coastal town of Dbayeh, between Beirut and Jounieh, the headquarters of Mitsulift sits within an urban context close to arterial routes. The programme for the building was divided into three essential parts, with retail spaces at ground level, offices at mid level and boardrooms and meeting spaces for Mitsulift on the top floors, benefitting from the views of the coast.
The management of light and energy was a key priority throughout the design process, with a particular emphasis on sustainability and creating the most comfortable day to day setting for the many users of the building. The many green measures featured in the building include heat recovery systems, solar heating for hot water and variable speed elevators.
