位于贝鲁特的住宅塔楼The Cube的建设已经完成。Orange建筑事务所为黎巴嫩开发公司Masharii设计了这座标志性的大厦。
The construction of the residential tower The Cube in Beirut is finalized. Orange Architects designed the iconic tower for the Lebanese development corporation Masharii.
The Cube位于黎巴嫩贝鲁特东部地区Sin el Fil的941号地块上，位置显眼。这座50米高的塔楼的概念很简单，但特别有效：”最大化”；最佳地利用了客户的愿望、场地的潜力、当地的建筑法规以及贝鲁特和地中海的美妙景色。
The Cube is located on a prominently visible location on Plot 941 in Sin el Fil, an eastern district of Beirut, Lebanon. The concept of the 50 meter high tower is simple but extraordinarily effective: ‘MAXIMIZE’; making optimal use of the client’s wishes, the site’s potential, the local building code and the fantastic views on Beirut and the Mediterranean.
The Cube为高层建筑或塔楼建筑的概念提出了一个全新的水平。它不是一个单一的平面图，而是一个由独立别墅组成的独特的标志性雕塑，所有的别墅都可以看到贝鲁特的城市景观。
The Cube is presenting a whole new level to the concept of high rise, or the architecture of towers. No extrusion of a singular floor plan, but a unique and iconic sculpture of individual villas, all with perfect views on the cityscape of Beirut.
每层体量的旋转为住户提供了下面公寓屋顶上的壮丽的户外区域，以及宽达12米的全景窗。每层由一个或两个公寓组成。单层公寓有神话般的机会从360度的全景中享受贝鲁特。
The rotation of the volumes on each level offers residents magnificent outdoor areas on the roof of the apartment below, as well as panoramic windows up to 12 meters wide. Each level consists of one or two apartments. The single apartments have the fabulous opportunity to enjoy Beirut from a 360 panorama.
“立方体是贝鲁特的一个即时经典，具有表现力、标志性和创新性”
14个叠加和旋转的平面设计共产生了19个有吸引力的公寓，面积从117到234平方米不等，有流动的空间，大阳台和墙到墙的窗框。由于其在城市边缘的独立设置，Cube本身和贝鲁特市中心的景观都是看不见的；充满活力的城市是你个人的墙纸，无论白天还是晚上。
“The Cube is an instant classic for Beirut, expressive, iconic and innovative”
The design with the 14 stacked and rotated floor plans generates 19 attractive apartments in total, ranging in size from 117 to 234 m², with fluid spaces, large balconies and wall to wall window frames. With its freestanding setting on the edge of the city both the view on the Cube itself and on central Beirut are unseen; the vibrant City is your personal wallpaper, day and night.
由于大楼的核心部分有固定的电梯和楼梯，对公寓的布局没有任何限制。楼层从核心区直达外墙，每层由两根支撑混凝土梁和两个全景窗框组成，因此每层旋转了90度。横梁和核心部分都是为了稳定塔楼，这在地震活跃的地区是一个额外的挑战任务。
Thanks to the fixed core with lifts and staircases at the heart of the building, there are no constraints on the layout of the apartments. The floors run straight from the core to the facades, which are on each floor composed of two supporting concrete girders and two panoramic window frames, consequently rotated 90 degrees per level. Both the crossing girders and the core serve to stabilize the tower, an extra challenging task in a seismologically active area.
穿孔的白色涂层大梁墙强烈地决定了建筑的外部和内部的外观。停车库位于地下3层，部分设置在邻近的山上。在底层，大厅的凹陷空间被一个壮观的悬臂体所覆盖，创造了一个很好的覆盖场所，并标志着立方体的慷慨入口。
The white coated girder walls, which are perforated, strongly determine the appearance of both the exterior and the interior of the building. The parking garage is located underground in 3 layers and partly set into the adjacent hill. On the ground floor the recessed space for the lobby is covered by a spectacular cantilevering volume, creating a nicely covered place and marking the generous entrance of the Cube.
