The upward-aesthetic light structure of SPINE Rooftop Lounge Beirut

29-1-2019

The unique design of SPINE Rooftop bar Beirut in Lebanon focuses on the sky. The design was conceived on the idea of ​​avoiding the attributes of the roof design, usually aimed at walls or floors, and instead using an upward-aesthetic lighting structure. ”I wanted to animate the air and the structure merged with the landscape”, says the designer Gregory Gatserelia. The lounge, located at one of the highest buildings at Naccache Seaside Road, G1 Building, opened its doors in June 2018 and is now one of the hotspots in Beirut.

SPINE Rooftop Lounge Beirut | The Design

The concept was realized in collaboration with architect Gregory Gatserelia who wanted to create an unorthodox design that gives a feeling of an abstract city with an illusional touch of floating light elements. The 12th floor 270 square-metre (2,906 sq. ft) glass-walled space of SPINE with 360-degree views is a beacon that is visible from far away thanks to an ingenious light installation. The light gradually intensifies as it starts to get dark. His creation is a huge structure of squares and rectangles made of metal pipes suspended from the ceiling and animated by lighting. The installation is made of surprisingly simple materials like,  polycarbonate panel, concrete and steel. The tetris-like boxes begin to stunt at the beginning of the evening with a monochromatic subtle hue and as the night progresses a dynamic mode enters with hundreds of color variations that merge in with the music and the movement of the crowd. To achieve this, Gatserelia and his team devised 6000 lights via a DMX computer that individually programs each pixel using video animation. The shows are also manually synchronized so whenever the DJ moves from one song to another, the lights move along. It must be an exceptional experience to visit this lounge!
