“This rooftop affords us room to better enjoy what we love. The space is not designed to adhere to a specific concept making it all the more exciting. I call it ‘Garden’, which is a digression of a new service at will to fancy. BURAU, an architecture and urban design company founded by Candice Naim and Lea Helou was commissioned to ensure that my vision is accurately translated. I then hired the services of world-renowned Landscape Gardner Pierre Alexandre Risser, managing director of Horticulture et Jardins, a company that specializes in the creation of roof gardens with Parisian flair. Lastly, I contracted Dr. Marc Beyrouthy who not only is passionate about biodiversity and Lebanese flora, but also is the founder of NATURE, a company specializing in transforming spaces into natural green habitats. He will execute Risser’s concept using a selection out of +900 Eco-friendly sustainable products. Once complete, the setting and approach, coupled with a specific mindset, will constitute a potentially-promising platform where new F&B ideas come to life. It will also be a place where all kinds of edible plants will be grown and incorporated into some of our current and future offerings,” he said.
