“Our clients often come to us armed with ideas to spur the design
process, but they are not really sure of what they ultimately want,”
says Nasr. “Once we work things out on paper, devise plans and
provide them with 3D views, it gives life to a vision of what they
can actually have in their home.” “By encouraging a client to become engaged in the decision-
making process, it develops a very pleasant and functional
working relationship,” explains Nasr. “Additionally, it ensures
that time is well managed and, consequently, that the client’s
financial resources are well spent.”
INFUSING WARMTH
In the case of One Oak 3&4 B2, the process began with Askdeco
presenting the client with plans for an industrial feel with a
luxurious twist. In making their case, Askdeco was able to create
two parallel 3D models of the space, presenting both the client’s
original vision and the firm’s altered vision. Earth colors, concrete
textured walls, gunmetal finishes, Mediterranean grey marble
flooring and brown wood bring the industrial design elements into
play. While maintaining the industrial elements embraced by the
client, Askdeco infused a cozier design into its core, substituting
wood and metal in some instances to produce a homier effect.
The 3D modelling provided the client with a better understanding
of the designer’s proposed vision, which they eagerly embraced. HOME SWEET HOME
With breathtaking vistas overlooking the Mediterranean Sea and
ancient Roman ruins on one side, and the vibrancy of downtown
Beirut’s colourful streets on the other, One Oak 3&4 B2 succeeds
in achieving a harmonious balance between the muted and
monotone colour palettes of hard architecture and random
bursts of vibrant colour. Carefully selected works of art, eclectic
furniture and unique accessories add life to the space’s industrial
design elements, and to the modern furnishings selected from
Askdeco’s repertoire of international brand suppliers.
