THE CUBE wins Best Tall Building Middle East & Africa 2016
A new skyscraper in Lebanon has walked away with the coveted title of Best Tall Building Middle East & Africa 2016.
The Council on Tall Buildings and Urban Habitat (CTBUH) handed the prize to The Cube, a 50-storey residential tower in Horch Tabet, an eastern district of Beirut.
Designed by Orange Architects and developed by Masharii, the project features 14 rotated floor plans ingeniously divided into 21 luxurious apartments, ranging in size from 117 to 234 m2, with the exclusive 10th floor apartment being its jewel.
This apartment is designed by architect designer Dori Hitti, winner of the prestigious London Luxury Lifestyle Award 2016, and reflects his special flair for individualism, minimalism and innovation.
THE CUBE raises the bar for the architecture of towers through its 90-degree rotation of each level from the level above and below, creating a stepping effect for a very unique outer façade.
Units have windows up to 12 meters wide offering spectacular panoramic views of the vibrant city and the Mediterranean, and spacious outdoor terraces for each apartment atop the roof of the unit below.
The parking garage is located underground in 3 layers, each apartment having 2 spots.
Masharii will soon launch its unique residential beach front project in Cyprus, Limassol, which will be developed on a 2,500 sqm plot close to the Four Seasons hotel.
