In addition to the open floorplan and beautiful views, the building offers a concierge, roof deck, and health club.

I was contacted regarding a new project in Beirut aiming at displaying and encouraging local designers in addition to others from Middle Est and Africa. The gallery or design station as they like to call it is a lovely concept allowing rising designers to show their work all in a friendly environment where people can mingle over coffee and cake.
