Modular Housing – Thomas Khoueiry

Posted on by

Conceptual Mall Design 3

When we think of modular homes of late in the US it has been to create flexible and extremely compact homes for places like NYC.  Thomas Khoueiry’s approach in Lebanon was not only to design a modular housing development for Lebanon’s housing crisis, but to also to revitalize the abandoned quarries.  The quarries have left scares all over the landscape, and this new spanning housing typology tries to recapture these lands.  As the project isn’t heavily built into the landscape, but touching it at points, maybe the opportunity for the land to become revitalized over time is a possibility.  Check it out after the jump!
