CUBICLE - Lifetime Stories [Jounieh - Lebanon]

“Life… A collection of Moments”

This project is a study on transforming a small industrial container into a flexible, useful & aesthetic architectural element. It serves as an exhibition space, meeting area, & photography studio for an event planning startup company called “Lifetime Stories”. Inspired by Malevich’s work, the space was designed to become a white canvas upon which memories of clients were displayed; an embodiment of the concept of “Framing the Moment”.

The structural steel supporting the container was turned into a series of frames that channel the attention towards the meeting area where the ideas come to life. It’s the only element to take color and stand out in this black & white photograph.  Linear lighting, folds on several planes, to echo the structure and accentuate the perspective. A succession of floating frames animates the space, to become a base where stories & pictures are displayed. These same frames transform into desks, tables, chairs & sculptures.
