Über Carl Gerges Architects
MEHR üBER CARL GERGES ARCHITECTS
Profile:
Carl Gerges is a multi-disciplinary architect based between Beirut, Dubai, and Paris, whose projects are characterized by a precise understanding of how spaces interact with their surroundings. Born in 1987, he graduated from the American University of Beirut with a degree in Architecture. Through a straightforward approach to architecture, Gerges imagines a lifestyle centered around nature and mindful living. Paying equal attention to the interiors and landscaping, Gerges presents his projects as a whole; meticulously designed to transform their environments, and inspire a lifestyle unique to their locations.
The imprint of his earlier days in the renowned rock band “Mashrou Leila’’ prompted an interest in the intersection of music and art. Having collaborated with artists like Mika, Yo Yo Ma, Niles Rodgers, Joe Goddard, and Brian Eno, his musical career holds many accolades. His days spent touring around the world, immersed Gerges in architecture further. Venues like Le Grand Palais and L’Olympia in Paris, The Metropolitan Museum in New York, the Musée Yves Saint Laurent in Morocco, and Baalbek in Lebanon, became a source of spatial inspiration.
His architectural studio “Carl Gerges Architects”, founded in 2020, has garnered international attention through prestigious awards like the Architectural Digest’s “Best Hospitality Project” (2022), the List of 100 Contemporary Decorators from AD France (2021), the GQ “Men of the year Award” (2022), the Identity Design Award for “Best Residential Project” in Dubai (2021), and the ArchDaily “Best Young Practices” Award (2020).
Gerges approaches architecture with an innate sensitivity to spaces, their coexistence with humans, and their correlation to the outside world.
