INTERIOR DESIGN
WINNER Apartment in Achrafieh, Lebanon, by Marc Dibeh
Exceptional spaces tell exceptional stories. And that is certainly true of this apartment in Downtown Beirut that speaks of the Lebanese capital’s heartbreak and subsequent rebirth.
Designed by Marc Dibeh, this marble, teak, glass and French oak home is a beautiful melange of the East and West, with pieces by Lebanese artist Hala Matta, designers David/Nicolas and Souheil Dagher harmoniously coexisting with Gabriella Crespi mirrors and Jean Royere’s iconic armchairs.
Leaning into the light, Dibeh made most of the apartment’s soaring glass walls, fashioning interior spaces that converse with the Olga Moutran landscaped terrace. It is testament to his transformative talent that even in the midst of an economic crisis and pandemic, the clients rebuilt the apartment to his exact design when it was devastated by the port blasts. marcdibeh.com
