Four Seasons Rooftop (Beirut)

Beirut , Lebanon
Commercial
Built 2019

The Four Seasons rooftop is an outdoor entertainment destination located on the Beirut waterfront. It offers various amenities and food and beverage services with panoramic views of the Mediterranean Sea and Lebanese mountains.

In its previous state, the rooftop was composed of two distinct zones separated by solid partitions and planters: the bar/lounge area and the pool area.

The initial intention was to open up these two areas allowing for maximum exposure to the waterfront and mountainous landscape. The elevated lounge area is extended to reach the pool area creating one unified space. A twenty-one-meter-long box is conceived in the middle of this space to satisfy the needs of hotel users and visitors alike in all conditions and seasons. It houses an elongated bar as a centerpiece. The rooftop is draped in a marble finish covering the floors, pool, and Jacuzzi. The box is articulated in steel structural elements with glass infills and white curtains on all four sides. On the short edges, the transparent facades expose the interior to the pool area from the east and the sunset bar area from the west. On the long edges, the glass facades retract in summer to allow for a completely open setting. The previous 7-meter-high bar wall is covered in light grey curtains that serve as a dramatic backdrop for the DJ booth.
