Modulofts

Much of the architecture in Beirut today is uninspiring. This is especially true of the commercial residential sector with its banal buildings mushrooming without contributing to or reflecting the continuously evolving rich and vibrant city of Beirut, its architectural heritage, and the discerning taste and lifestyle of its contemporary citizen.

Designed by Fouad Samara Architects (with Fouad Samara a shareholder in the development), Modulofts aims to challenge all that by creating a new typology that reflects Beirut’s rich urban living and responds to its fast changing and evolving requirements.

Inspired by the purity of the traditional Lebanese house – the ‘beit’, and the poetics and flexibility of urban lofts in London and Manhattan in the ‘60s and ‘70s, Modulofts is a 14 story building made up of 7 duplex lofts atop a piloti, on a single aspect squarish 206 sm site, just off the eastern end of Charles Malek Avenue on the trestles of the established Ashrafieh district in Beirut.
