The idea
Walls shaped like bodywork.
A concept design for a proposed Ferrari museum in Beirut. The collection is laid out as a route: cars stand on round plinths along curving galleries, and the walls are shaped like bodywork, in grey metal panels split by sweeping bands of red lacquer.
At the centre, a tall hall opens to the sky through a roof of concrete beams and glazing, its light falling across white walls and a glossy white floor. A screen of steel bars wraps the hall, ramps rise past it to the upper galleries, and a seating area sits behind it, looking onto the cars.

About the project
A route through the collection, shaped like the cars.
This concept design for a proposed Ferrari museum in Beirut, Lebanon, treats the collection as a route rather than a set of rooms. Visitors move along curving galleries where each car stands on its own round plinth. The walls take their language from the cars, curving like bodywork in grey metal panels cut through by sweeping bands of red lacquer.
The galleries lead to a tall central hall, open to the sky through a roof of concrete beams and glazing. Here the palette turns white, and daylight falls across pale walls and a glossy floor. A screen of steel bars wraps the hall, filtering views without closing them. Ramps rise past the screen to the upper galleries, so the cars are seen from changing heights, and a seating area behind the screen offers a place to pause and look back onto the collection.
