| DESIGN NAME: AB Workspace PRIMARY FUNCTION: Cabin INSPIRATION: In a bid to transfer the feel of urban development, agility and high-tech designs into the countryside, combined with smooth transitions and mobility, the cabin idea came to life. The mobile nature of the cabin made it possible to bring a sense of urban development deep into the remote country. The cabin, created to serve as a new office location for the firm, stands out as a unique modern structure in a fairly rural setting. It is a place where both, designers and clients meet to share knowledge, experiences, ideas, and emotions. UNIQUE PROPERTIES / PROJECT DESCRIPTION: AB Architects has their mobile workspace cabin in a central location between three Lebanese districts. The new office was situated to be within reach and close contact with their diverse client base of varying backgrounds and localities. The 22 m2 cabin is located in a fairly rural setting on the main highway and the architecture stands as an urban form in contrast to its surroundings. On the main level, the interior includes a metallic office desk, a high-end seating area, a small kitchen, and a toilet. The rooftop also functions as a terrace, enabling a panoramic view of astonishing nature. OPERATION / FLOW / INTERACTION: The on-site construction and material requirements were specified beforehand as to allow efficient installation to happen within a couple of weeks, avoiding an elongated process on site. Overall, the design creates an efficient compact workspace, tailor-made for and by AB architects. PROJECT DURATION AND LOCATION: The project was initiated in August 2018 and took a full month to be completed. It is located on the main highway in a central location between three Lebanese districts, an hour and a half drive from the capital Beirut to south Lebanon.

PRODUCTION / REALIZATION TECHNOLOGY: The cabin was put together and designed with high attention to details, to then be delivered on-site via rollback tow truck and installed with exact precision by a crane truck. The body consists of a steel framed structure supporting the space with sandwich panels shaping the volume and isolate it. It is completed with framed windows, while the floor is plywood tiled with porcelain installed with silicone. SPECIFICATIONS / TECHNICAL PROPERTIES: The main functional space (22 m2): 690 x 320 x 290 cm Overall: 890 x 340 x 400 cm WEIGHT: 5 tons Water: 500 liter The roof is also developed to house solar panels and with a structured opening for air circulation. TAGS: Architecture, design, mobile, workspace, cabin, sustainability, steel, interior design, Lebanon RESEARCH ABSTRACT: The research stage of the project incorporated both quantitative and qualitative methods as both techniques were required to complete well-informed research. The research covered different aspects of the project including the design strategy and site analysis to construction materials weight and flexibility, air circulation, drain, and water supply system, electrical wiring, and delivery process. CHALLENGE: This new cabin has been a totally new challenge for AB architects as it was all about achieving the studio vision of creating an innovative workspace that connects them with the diverse client base with all possible luxury and invites people to experience a good design as an investment to evolve along with the studio work culture.
