One of Lebanon’s most talented architects, Bernard Khoury, has just finished building yet another masterpiece an extraordinary rooftop penthouse located right in the middle of Beirut, (Lebanon’s most breathtaking city as well as its capital). The beautiful city of Beirut was the ideal location for Bernard Khoury’s latest creation, partly because Beirut has been in the amidst of construction that is giving way to the greatest and most luxurious city on the Mediterranean Sea. On the other hand it may be ideal for a totally different reason, the beautiful city of Beirut has many things to offer as you get to know this one of a kind peninsula and discover the true reason this city is dubbed “the Paris of the Middle East”.
Bernard Khoury’s newest masterpiece is not just another project, it’s his home that he designed solely with the thought of him and his family in mind. The penthouse features magnificent windows that allows light to run wild throughout the three story home, which is also comprised of an entry level where a majority of the home functions lie, that includes a dining area, a kitchen, a mezzanine area for both his children, and a third autonomous room for guest that takes you out onto the rooftop terrace and swimming pool.
When Bernard Khoury usually designs a house he doesn’t concern himself with trivial things like interior decoration, but for this home he designed most of the furniture himself, one example is a beautiful long dining room table that is similar to the design of a farmhouse, but much more modern. Khoury also designed a leather swing that oversees the incredible city below, plus a complicated étagères on each side of the reception area were expertly crafted by a local artisan. It’s unfortunate that this penthouse is not for sale, but even though the beautiful home by Bernard Khoury is not presently on the market, it’s still a truly interesting, not to mention beautiful piece of real estate located in the always lovely Beirut, Lebanon.
