Project Name: Rankous Mart

Location: Damascus Countryside – Rankous

The project draws its identity from the distinctiveness of its location and the surrounding mountainous nature. Stemming from our vision of developing an integrated destination with a clear and sustainable identity, we crafted a design that transforms the rest stop from a mere service point into a complete destination combining hospitality, entertainment, and services.

The project enjoys a strategic location about 3.2 km from the town of Rankous, with a frontage on the main road, in addition to benefiting from wind movement, which enhances the quality of the outdoor spaces and supports the pursuit of sustainable solutions.

The essence of the project reflects a connection between the surrounding nature, heritage, and modernity. The building mass was designed with clear horizontal lines and simple details that harmonize with the mountainous landscape, while the wide glass facades link the interior with the exterior and provide visual openness to the surroundings. The use of stone, brick, and earthy tones strengthens the project's bond with its environment, resulting in an architectural entity that blends seamlessly into its setting.

The layout is organized through an integrated system of spaces, starting with a main hall comprising a supermarket and various services, extending to an outdoor courtyard that embraces cafés, restaurants, and terraces, in addition to a car park. This transforms the visitor's experience into a complete journey that begins with meeting their needs and ends with an atmosphere of hospitality and entertainment.
