Club Amis by Rabih Geha Architects Transforms Beirut Residence into Layered Hospitality Venue
Rabih Geha Architects has finalized Club Amis, a multifaceted venue for hospitality, education, and events located in Gemmayzeh, Beirut, Lebanon, within a renovated traditional Lebanese structure for Pernod Ricard Middle East. This space emphasizes immersive experiences centered on social interaction and adaptability, catering to professional training sessions during the day and social gatherings in the evening. The existing layout was maintained, with various rooms dedicated to different Pernod Ricard brands. The central bar features striking blue hues and a circular lighting design. Notable spaces include the Jameson room, Chivas room, and Malfy terrace. A restroom showcases House of Hackney wallpaper, while the Mixology Academy boasts glossy tiles inspired by Absolut Vodka. Original architectural features were preserved, and new systems were introduced. Photography by Wael Khoury.
