Abraj is a mixed-use development in Al-Siraj, Tripoli: residential blocks above a continuous row of shopfronts, with patterned screens and a showroom building at the corner. The project is half complete.
Site photographs show deep excavation, timber-braced retaining walls, reinforcement and concrete pumping, with new apartment blocks already standing next to the works.
Where the works stand
Excavation here is deep, so the walls of the pit are braced with timber shuttering while crews place reinforcement and pump concrete into the foundation slab.
The design shows tall glazed openings and carved screens along the ground floor, giving shops a generous frontage. New apartment blocks already stand beside the site.
The setting
Al-Siraj is an established part of Tripoli with apartment buildings already around the plot. Abraj adds shops at street level so residents have daily needs close to their doors.
