Bank Med headquarters lies at the intersection of two of Beirut’s major vehicular arteries, and is an extension of the bank constellation of downtown Beirut.

The building form includes increased verticality mixed with Layered/Sculpted scheme: the primary vertical fins made of extruded aluminum profiles emphasize the verticality- the secondary fins which integrate expanded mesh in copper finish bring varying depths and orientation according to the facade exposure to the sun.
