The bedroom for one of the daughters at Casa K begins with a custom-made bed facing the sea, with a suspended installation from the ceiling serving as a headboard and doubling as a dressing unit. The round units, covered with images of the seashore on the bed side and with mirrors on the dressing side, serve as hidden storage.

HAZMIEH, Lebanon — The Casa K residential project, implemented by Wael Farran Studio, was inspired by the movement of the sea represented by variations of stylized curvy lines that guide one through the apartment’s personalized spaces in monochromatic tones.

Situated along the “Beiruty” coast, the roomy apartment features a private elevator area, an entrance lobby that leads to an open space saloon with a living area, a dining space, four bedrooms suites, including a master bedroom with a dressing area, a study and work room, a guest bathroom, two kitchens, and a help chamber.

While the apartment remained within its original plan, the bigger scope of the work included a major interior design uplift with plaster and woodwork, almost all custom-made furniture, as well as an electric update with new lighting and sound systems.

Wael Farran Studio is an international multidisciplinary interior architecture firm based in Beirut, Lebanon. The Studio is also home to Formitable, a line of limited-edition custom-made tables and furniture, used extensively throughout the Casa K residence.
