The “Athenée de Beyrouth” School is designed to open up to the breathtaking views of the pine valley, in a configuration where form is serving education, diversity, and unity. This arrangement distinguishes the characters and requirements of each class grades. In addition to the cultural, sports and leisure functions that constitute a complete educational setting, it is open for sharing culture and sports with parents and public. The School partially built some of these spaces that were part of the original design: a didactic library, theater and music rooms, art and photography workshops, a gymnasium, a covered basketball court, and outdoor tennis fields. Each function has its own personality, where aesthetics were an issue in managing this complex diversity in an organic unity, where each part contributes to the balance and harmony of the whole.

The schemes and model show the complete project of 1992 which was unfortunately not completely executed.
