Sesobel Autism Center is designed with the primary goal of providing a serene living environment for autistic children and contributing to their medical treatment for enhanced social integration. As the inaugural autism center in Lebanon, the emphasis on comfort and relaxation is integral to the project.
Considering the challenging topography and the objective of seamless integration while optimizing plot utilization, the building is strategically sited on the steepest part of the terrain. This choice facilitates the creation of exterior terraces on each floor, transforming the almost flat section of the parcel into recreational spaces. The architectural decision demonstrates a thoughtful consideration for communal well-being.
Pleasant Living Space for Autistic Children
Efficient Use of Steep Terrain
Innovative Use of Retaining Wall
Safety and Scenic Views
The substantial retaining wall, turned into a beneficial architectural element, forms a significant void centralizing various common functions such as break rooms, lunchrooms, and the stairway. Every effort is made to introduce transparency within the building, enhancing the overall enjoyment of the space.
Moreover, the building's strategic placement and its curvilinear form establish a controlled entry, ensuring safety, while providing a private garden and pool area that commands a picturesque view.
