Located in Mar Mikhael, in the creative and artistic area of Beirut, this existing building was severely damaged by the Beirut explosion in August 2020. Our response to this tragedy was to use this catastrophe as an opportunity to give back life to this building. The idea was to redefine its use and transform it into a boutique hotel that could absorb the neighborhood’s hype and offer new possibilities for the community. The mixed-use program is meant to attract a diversity of people with a variety of activities.
