Set against Tripoli's historical backdrop, the design draws from the coastal city's weathered hues, especially the railway's patina. The building's exterior features copper and rusty red tones, making it a distinctive landmark. These colors honor the industrial past and stand as a beacon of renewal.The architectural form takes inspiration from shipping container ribs, reflecting the port's maritime history.
