With an architectural and technical backgrounds, we can develop a contemporary approach to design. Based in Beirut, omar harb architects + associates is an expanding firm with a professional team of architects and support staff, who collectively provide clients with their requirements. To date the firm portfolio consists of a variety of projects including offices, residential, commercial, industri

al, religious and internal fit outs that can be seen in various cities of the Middle East. In architecture, today, the issues are no longer between classical and modern, order and disorder, humanist perspectives and mechanistic aesthetics, but between good and bad design. The challenge in our profession is to inscribe architectural actions in a contextual approach and to generate social interaction in any built environment. Each project has its own identity shaped by the client’s needs, the project’s program and the site. Therefore, our response manages both generic constraints and explicit demands, challenging the equilibrium of cost, quality and time.

“In the big picture, architecture is the art and science of making sure that our cities and buildings fit with the way we want to live our lives.” Bjarke Ingels, BIG

“Inspired by the colors of Senegal and shaped by its climate, The Laterite Tower redefines the mixed-use high-rise as a vertical village. A bold composition of sculpted volumes, shaded sky gardens, and naturally ventilated spaces creates a sustainable landmark rooted in culture and community. More than a tower, it is a living ecosystem—where architecture, nature, and people come together to shape the future of Dakar.”

THE LATERITE TOWER
A Vision for Senegal’s Future

Proud to unveil our proposal for a Mixed-Use Tower Competition in Senegal—an architectural vision inspired by the country’s rich cultural heritage, climate, and landscape.

Rather than creating another glass skyscraper, our concept embraces the warmth of Senegal through a contemporary interpretation of laterite earth, woven textures, shaded courtyards, and naturally ventilated sky gardens. The tower becomes a vertical village, where living, working, hospitality, and public life are seamlessly interconnected within a sustainable architectural ecosystem.

The design is guided by passive environmental strategies:
• Climate-responsive double-skin façade
• Naturally ventilated atrium and sky gardens
• Solar protection and daylight optimization
• Integrated green infrastructure
• Community-focused public spaces
• A strong architectural identity rooted in place

Architecture should do more than shape skylines—it should reflect culture, respond to climate, and improve the everyday experience of its users.

This proposal represents our commitment to designing meaningful, resilient, and timeless architecture for the cities of tomorrow.
