Rabih Geha Architects is a team of architects
and designers working to create spaces that
inspire.
Based in Beirut, Rabih Geha is an architect with an artist’s vision
and a Magicians skill. After graduating with a B.A. in architecture
from The American University of Beirut (AUB), he traveled to Paris,
where he earned a master’s degree in architecture from the
prestigious École Nationale Supérieure de Création Industrielle
(ENSCI).
In 2006, he returned to Lebanon to open his own practice, Rabih
Ge ha Architects. The in-demand design firm represents a young
generation of architects breaking tradition in favour of a new
approach.
Setting aside the scale, building type and proposed materials, Geha
first considers the story of every project; he then determines an
authentic way to tell it.
Nothing is off limits; he has woven extraordinary architectural tales
using everything from a whale skeleton to a microscopic virus as
inspiration. Each project, whether it is a sleek urban residence or
an intimate villa-turned-bar, has an individual identity based on its
particular context and purpose.
