Marie Claire Mrad

2020

Marie-Claire Mrad is an interior architect, lighting and product designer based in Beirut, Lebanon. After earning a master’s degree from Université Saint Esprit Kaslik (USEK) in 2009, Marie-Claire Mrad worked with several renowned companies in the field of interior architecture and lighting design. While working with these firms, she designed projects across Lebanon, the Middle East and Europe, and collaborated with designers from different backgrounds, nationalities and disciplines. 

In 2011, she came back to USEK as an instructor, mentoring interior architecture students. 

In 2018, Marie-Claire co-founded REM Beirut, a new concept of design practice, including an interior architecture office space, a concept store related to design and lifestyle where Lebanese and international designers showcase their products and a multipurpose area suitable for meetings, events, design workshops and talks. 

Today, she has a wide portfolio with work ranging from residential and commercial spaces to projects in the hospitality field including restaurants and bars.

Marie-Claire’s conceptual approach to interior architecture reflects her understanding of the correlation between the physical space and the sensory experience of the user, which translates in shapes, textures and light creating unique and timeless spaces. The transition and balance between the aesthetic essence of the space and its functionality are the challenge and driving force behind the conception of every project.

 

The Cask & Barrel is a premium spirits boutique, founded by G. Vincenti & Sons, curating some of the world’s most selective and premium single malt whisky brands from Scotland, Ireland and Japan along with a limited batch of the finest brands of bourbons, rums, gins, cognacs, champagne and other spirits. This concept is dedicated to nurture and encourage passion for the “Water of Life”: Whisky, as well as the other spirits. The conceptual approach of the second branch located in the Intercontinental Hotel Mzaar, was about capturing the essence and identity of each brand and highlighting it in its context while maintaining an overall mood. The outcome is a space emanating singularity and harmony, authenticity and luxury.

Rabih Geha Architects is a team of architects and designers working to create spaces that inspire. Led by Rabih Geha, the team works on a portfolio of projects that include architecture, interiors, product design and experimental installations. From residential and retail to commercial and recreational spaces, the studio’s founding philosophy begins with context. Each design, prompted by the environment it lives in, absorbs the surrounding physical, social and aesthetic elements to result in spaces that are never dictated by trend or style, but rather built with meaning, relevance and most importantly passion.

Defying categorization, RG/Architects’ vision is regularly intersected with the demands of their clients and the modern world. In each project, they aims to capture the mood, ambiance and blend the spirit of the space by merging design, architecture and the client’s need – this is the key thread that runs through their work. RG/A is a premised shaped by internal critique, creative dialogue and an exemplar level of architectural and design aesthetics.

Geha holds a B.A. in architecture from The American University of Beirut (AUB) and a master’s degree in architecture from l’École Nationale Supérieure de Création Industrielle (ENSCI). He launched an experiment-driven and research-oriented workshop at l’Académie Libanaise des Beaux-Arts (ALBA) in 2006, where he is currently mentoring Lebanon’s next generation of architects.

Rabih Geha lives in Beirut with his wife designer Ghida Geha, and their two young children.

The rocky surroundings of Beirut’s skyline is an attraction for those who would want to heal it.

From the old kingdom of Babylon BAU’s spirit still resides among us; the healing goddess is known for her power to breath life back into mankind.

Through her preaching, we introduce to Beirut a unique combination of space, sound and palate that vitalizes senses and rejuvenates souls.

Bringing an authentic Asian taste with rich food, handcrafted special cocktails and tropical dance mood that heals mind and spirit.

We believe that holding good virtue is key to a healthy and fulfilled life. It is maintained through acts of love, compassion, kindness and integrity. And with the right ambiance, rhythm and gustatory stimulation, your senses will be awaked to a life of love, mindfulness and serenity.

Every visit holds parades and parades of exponential fusions of Zen and bliss.

Antwork

Antwork

2018

The antwork leap is more than a simple leap into coworking. It’s about owning your time, so that your business grows as fast as you’d like it to and your work flows as much as you need. It’s taking the leap into the world of on-demand resources, services, spaces and talent so that the value of your time is not crippled by the nuisances of the daily grind. It’s the first leap of them all, and that’s what makes it special.
