Shipping Container Nightclubs

Rabih Geha Architects Created a Dark Nightclub in Beirut

— March 19, 2018 — Art & Design
2 WEEKS is a bar and nightclub in Beirut, Lebanon. The misty appeal of the establishment was created by local studio Rabih Geha Architects and entertainment company Add-Mind Group. For the interior, the firms decided on an ambient aesthetic, drawing inspiration from the industrial and non-striking structure of shipping containers.

The nightclub in Beirut is divided with layers of perforated steel, creating a semi-private space in an open-concept bar. Taking into consideration that Rabih Geha Architects were given an extremely limited time frame to create an engaging, sensual and dynamically modern interior for the nightclub in Beirut, it is fairly impressive how the local firm was able to successfully pull off a uniform interior design, where the elements tie in meticulously with each other.
