North Souks, Beirut

The North Souks Department Store is a mixed-use five-storey new development located in the Beirut Souks development complex in the Lebanese capital. It consists of two interlinked and adjoining buildings. The façade of the North Souks Department Store was subject to a blast and a fire event that occurred in 2020. The two events led to the need to develop a rectification strategy for the façade. Therefore, a façade upgrade project is now being undertaken.

One of the biggest challenges in facade fire safety is the assumption that past approvals guarantee future compliance. Even with the best intentions, a 'we've always done it this way' mindset can lead to deviations, non-compliances and unnecessary risk.
