LAN - Toy Library, Bonneuil-sur-Marne 2006. While somewhat brutal for its function, the rough concrete shell was literally dropped over an existing structure, and surprisingly maintains warmth on the interior. The exterior finish is also a somewhat candid nod to the adjacent 1960’s social housing. Photos (C) Jean-Marie Monthiers.

Beirut Terraces, Herzog & de Meuron
Beirut Terraces rethinks the concept of the skyscraper, creating a vertical village composed of thin, elegant platforms layered in a playful formation. By offering lavish outdoor spaces, breathtaking views, and meticulously composed lofts, architects Herzog & DeMeuron bring an unprecedented way of living to crowded and dense Beirut.
The architects’ most conceptual work – the VitraHaus project – is most likely the root of the “stacked” methodology adopted for this project in Beirut. However, the Beirut terraces are much more complex in composition, offerings apartments that range from 250sqm to 1050sqm and come in the form of simplexes, duplexes, and townhouses. Moreover, the project’s most seductive quality, its terraces, range from 28sqm to 400sqm.
