Development / design
The topographical and visual characteristics of the project area required that the buildings be listed and at heights that fit the two different fabrics, and that the land is located between them, so the buildings started on the main street (Al-Junaid area) with high heights that fit the architectural fabric of the Junaid area and then begin to graduate with lower heights whenever we go down towards the village of Beit weight to fit the fabric The architect has to reach four and three floors
. There are no internal streets in the complex there are instead pedestrian lanes that recall those of the Old City. Bridges, stairs, and lanes weave in and out of the buildings, making the number of buildings difficult to count
All units contain balconies facing the views of the site towards the north, east and west. The last floor units were directed with balconies and glass fronts overlooking the northern side. The lower floors were directed towards the eastern view or the western view.
