The upward-aesthetic light structure of SPINE Rooftop Lounge Beirut
29-1-2019
The unique design of SPINE Rooftop bar Beirut in Lebanon focuses on the sky. The design was conceived on the idea of avoiding the attributes of the roof design, usually aimed at walls or floors, and instead using an upward-aesthetic lighting structure. ”I wanted to animate the air and the structure merged with the landscape”, says the designer Gregory Gatserelia. The lounge, located at one of the highest buildings at Naccache Seaside Road, G1 Building, opened its doors in June 2018 and is now one of the hotspots in Beirut.
