Stone Garden Beirut – Lina Ghotmeh

Stone Garden Beirut – Lina Ghotmeh

2022

Stone Garden, located in Beirut’s port area and designed by Lina Ghotmeh, is a sculptural residential tower that reflects the city’s layered history and resilience. Rising from a landscape of ruins and red-tiled houses, the building draws from Beirut’s identity as a city of permanent archaeology, buried and rebuilt over centuries.

The tower’s amorphous form, shaped by local urban regulations, features irregular openings that frame views of the Mediterranean Sea while recalling the fragmented memory of the city. Clad in a hand-combed earth-colored skin, its façade evokes raw, crafted materiality. Gardens grow within and upon it, blurring the boundary between architecture and nature. Rooted in its context, Stone Garden proposes architecture as a tool for healing, resilience, and continuity amid crisis.
