The operational project aims to construct a new residential building in the city of Algiers. The project site is located in the western part of the city, in the neighborhood called “Ouled Fayet,” a hilly area with a beautiful view of the sea.
The building is characterized by a distinctive pyramidal shape, the result of a careful interpretation of the current Building Regulations, which clearly states the desire to set back the facade from the property boundaries.
The materials used for the project are wood, glass for the parapets and reflective metal panels for the sloping facade.
The entire project aims to ensure high quality standards for the interior spaces and balconies of each apartment. To this end, each individual apartment has three to five rooms, all of which are large and spacious in keeping with Algerian tradition.
The building is up to ten stories above ground plus three basement floors, and continuous linear terraces are clearly provided on the façade so that all apartment residents have a good view of the sea.
In addition to the residential function, various commercial activities are located on the ground floor of the building.
