The idea
A palm court under a glass roof.
A concept design for a gaming centre in Dbayeh. The centre is planned around a palm court under a glazed roof: palms rise from beds of pale pebbles, a timber deck runs between them, and café tables with blue and red chairs spill out across a white floor.
Around the court, the galleries are wrapped in red and black, with blue accents marking the different zones. Games halls with pool tables, lounges and cafés open off the court on two levels, so the daylight from the roof reaches every part of the building.

About the project
Under the glass, then into colour
In this concept design, visitors arrive first into the palm court, open to the sky through the glazed roof. The deck leads between the palm beds towards the café tables, and from there the halls branch off over two floors. The games rooms are darker and more enclosed, set around the billiards and the play zones, while the lounges sit at the edge of the court and keep a view back to the trees and the daylight.
Pale pebbles fill the palm beds and the deck crosses over them, a natural ground beneath the trees. Red lacquer covers the gallery walls, a deep, glossy colour that holds the halls together and stands out against the white floor of the court. Blue café chairs bring a third colour down to table height, so the palette of the galleries is carried into the court where people sit. The centre was designed for Dbayeh, Lebanon.
