Material
The space was designed with elements that made the modular elements from the Porcelanosa tiles to the Louis Poulsen lighting fixtures breathe. The use of Corten metal, crafted in a Beirut atelier added a sense of organic weathering to the building. Transparency, openness and contrasted touches of teal blue evoked a sense of life in the monolithic structure. The marriage of the cold and warm elements is apparent in the amalgamation of the stone-like ceramic tiles with the Corten metal panels and the touches of golden Calacatta marble
