An intriguing
design approach allows Roland Helou Design (ROHD) to leave the viewer guessing about the size of this project, by clever
implementation of imaginative interior solutions...
Is this
project a villa or a garden flat?
This home
will surprise you on how an interior design exercise can uplift a space. Roland Helou Design (ROHD) has managed to do exactly
this in a home that appears to be larger than it actually is. Just looking at
the project, one might wonder about the size of this home as the interior
organically blends with the exterior.
Located
in Rabieh, Beirut’s most affluent suburb, on a hill side to the north of the
city, the most attractive feature of this home is the garden space that is an
extension of the interior spaces, not just physically, but also visually by the
use of curtain glass.

Splashes
of bold colours act as strategic highlights in the otherwise subdued colour
palette, establishing a cheery visual connect, leaving no room for dull
corners. The detailing in every space is evident and the difference in
materials and textures leads to a luxuriously balanced design. The
shades of various finishes namely the hard wood flooring, onyx marble,
upholstery and their reflections in the mirror cladding augment space, ultimately
leading to a well balanced yet dazzling design idiom.

Attention is paid to
the littlest details giving life to the most silent corners that round up the
narration of all the impressive, custom made pieces. A Kelly Hoppen dining
table, a Natuzzi Sofa, an Ivano Redaelli bed and the black basalt built-in
chimney or even the black lacquered wood lit bar are just a few of the
impressive pieces that have made home here, each radiating elegance and
dominance, making this home an opulent yet cozy space to reside in.
