The idea
Black lines against a white sky.
This apartment in Beirut is one open floor of living, dining and bar, set behind full-height glazing that frames the city below. A black lacquered beam runs across the ceiling and ties the spaces together, with a linear light along its edge. Grey panelled walls with fine horizontal joints close the far side of the room.
The furniture is low and pale against the dark lines of the architecture: white sofas and a swivel chair on a cream rug, a marble-topped table, and teal velvet seats at a long black glass dining table. Clusters of lacquered disc pendants hang over the bar and dining, and a large pop-art diptych sits above the sofas.

About the project
A city apartment drawn in dark and pale
The apartment opens directly into its main room, the saloon, where seating is kept low so the view over Beirut stays clear through the glazing. Moving along the floor, the bar sits between the saloon and the dining area. The dining table lies at the far end, under hanging lights, and the ceiling beam carries the eye from one zone to the next. Daylight comes from the glass wall; in the evening the light along the beam takes over.
Grey panels with fine horizontal lines close the living-room wall, giving it a quiet texture that recedes behind the furniture. Over the dining table and bar, lacquered disc pendants hang in groups, their glossy surfaces adding reflection to the room. The dining table is in black glass, paired with teal velvet seats, so a hard, reflective top meets a soft, deep colour. In the saloon, the pop-art diptych brings a burst of colour to an otherwise restrained palette.
