Lebanese architecture practice YTAA completed a vacation resort in Halat, a small town on the Lebanese coast, 30 km away from Beirut. With a built area of 2,500 sqm facing the Mediterranean and directly linked with the beach, the Kalani Beach resort is developed along in two main building groups: a linear, squared complex clad in wooden slats that includes thirty rooms and a restaurant, and five sail-shaped suites that iconize the whole resort, recalling a sailing regatta. Set along a 220 meters-long sea front, these egg-shaped spaces are built as double-height rooms enclosed by raw concrete shells, installed directly on the sand. The concrete sheets are positioned as overlapping leaves that allow for full height glass openings towards the sea. This seafront plot is screened by a palm grove, that serves as a vegetal mesh to filter the light in the rooms and traces the pathways between each living unit.
