A new town centre with leisure facilities and 85 houses for this growing international community in Tripoli. Located on axis with the village centre, the entrance of the leisure centre is a promenade animated with restaurant tables, cafés and reflecting gardens. At the heart of the leisure centre, the café, swimming pools and recreation area create a vibrant core and a series of canopies shade the circulation paths from direct sunlight.
Within the male and female areas, the changing rooms link the visitors to the public and quieter areas, located with views into the surrounding landscape. The internal courtyards provide filtered sunlight and landscape features as an oasis within the cluster of buildings.
