Nablus

Located at the center of the Old City of Nablus in Salahi Street, the two-storey abandoned and physically deteriorated building was restored and rehabilitated The Sharaf building is located in Harat al-Yasmeeneh, near Masjid al-Satoon at the north-western side of the Old City in Nablus.There is inadequate information about the historical period of the building’s establishment, but we know that it was originally used to house many families. However, from the survey and the site analysis it could be said that it dates back to the late Ottoman period and is over one hundred years of age.

The building and the courtyard are situated near Thafer al-Masri School, which is located in the Old City of Nablus.Al-Nabulsi building is a large building consisting of three floors and a roof, in addition to the existance of an open courtyard in front of it that had been developed into a landscape. The physical condition of the building was very bad. Thus, it was restored and rehabilitated to function as a social centre.The project first phase was completed in June 2011 and the second phase in November 2011.
