A dynamic apartment with artistic character
Nestled in the vibrant Clemenceau district, this apartment masterfully designed by the acclaimed architect Diana Ibrahim and her +arch studio is a testament to innovation in interior design. This space is not only a home but a carefully orchestrated solution to urban living challenges, merging functionality with stunning aesthetics.
Designed by +arch Diana Ibrahim and located in Beirut’s lively Clemenceau district, the apartment’s layout responds, from the outset, to the complex dynamics of metropolitan living. The integration of essential functions in unconventional yet effective locations throughout the home is both a marvel of design efficiency and a bold artistic statement. The choice of exquisite artworks and sophisticated furniture accentuates the space, creating an ambiance of elegance and harmony. A standout feature is the cleverly enclosed balcony. Originally a challenge due to a substantial structural column, it has been brilliantly transformed into the heart of the home. This space now houses a chic fireplace and television setup, with the column serving dual functions – both as a striking decorative feature and a practical component of the living area. Its mirrored stainless steel base enhances the illusion of lightness and space, artfully turning a potential hindrance into a central element of the design. The family room extends from this innovative enclosure, bathed in natural light and offering expansive views of the serene garden. This area not only serves as a tranquil retreat but also smartly delineates the transition to more private spaces, such as the cigar lounge, without sacrificing openness or connectivity. Central to the layout is the dining room table, strategically placed to maximize spatial efficiency. This sculptural piece does more than serve a functional purpose; it acts as a dynamic focal point of the reception area, enhancing both the usability and aesthetic appeal of the space. Art plays a pivotal role in defining the character of the apartment. Each piece, whether a painting, sculpture, or a piece of accent furniture, was selected not merely as decoration but as foundational elements of the design. These art pieces set the ambiance, express personal identity, and guide the overall composition and feel of the home. This project by Diana Ibrahim exemplifies a deep commitment to innovative problem-solving and discerning aesthetic choices. The result is a cohesive, visually stunning environment that redefines modern living.
