This
three-storey building, situated between Salamlik and Salsoul streets in Garden
City, was designed by Adib Wahba.
The
facade on Salsoul Street presents one prominent central section flanked by two
volumes, the height of which decreases towards its two lateral ends. The
central “avant-corps” is opened with longitudinal windows and contains fluted
engaged pillars.
The
facade on Salamlik Street has an over-sailing central part built out with two
rows of windows delimited by fluted engaged pillars.
Adib
Wahba features in his design an ornamental simplicity defined by pure lines and
offers a refined interpretation of Art Deco with an elegant frieze under the
cornice, also integrating Neoclassical
elements such as fluted columns.
