Description:

Roland Helou Design (ROHD) is behind an inside configuration wonder whose fascinating outline will delightfully bewilder even the most philistine eye. Having the visual advance and modernity of an estate, this ground floor cultivate level is an eye-getting trompe l’oeil that draws from inside structural planning expert traps that charge—other than the unavoidable astonishment—investigation.

Planned by ROHD, the Beirut-based inside structural engineering and multidisciplinary outline studio that lays on the tasteful sensibility and configuration aptitude of University of the Arts London expert graduate Roland Helou, the level is definitely not: there is no dull corner here or any subtle element left to impulses or suddenness. Everything is thoroughly considered—even the quiet spaces are examined.

Considered for an expert youthful couple, the greenery enclosure level extends more than 300 m2 (3,229 ft2) of ground floor of a building situated in Rabieh, Beirut’s most wealthy suburb, settled on a slope side toward the north of the city. Flawlessly mixing with a curious outside greenhouse, the level seems like an estate. This outcome is accomplished through astute execution of drape glass and a patio serving double utilization: added living space in winter and an expansion of the greenery enclosure in summer.

Sumptuous twists proliferate, for example, the Onyx marble and dark lacquered wood lit bar that projects to the open air territory, serving as a natural association alongside the expansive drape glass entryways. Another amazing piece is the dark basalt fabricated in stack of the principle lounge room. Made of volcanic stones, it emanates a particular mix of polish and predominance, similar to that of the focal gem of a crown, and dialogs its just as great flat mates, a Kelly Hoppen Dining table, a Natuzzi Sofa, and RHOD uniquely designed focal tables.

In a top of the line space like this one, peculiarity is not selective to any one room. Indeed, even the visitor lavatory, with mirror cladded roof and Tala Maron Marble, is worth lengthily abiding over—and in. Not to be eclipsed, the main room has an Ivano Redaelli bed, put in its middle, confronting the outside Jacuzzi, and encompassed by concealed American Walnut wooden storage.
