Arch Guru

A grand neo-classical villa facade designed for a private client in Saudi Arabia. The three-storey elevation is structured around a monumental Corinthian colonnade rising the full height of the building, commanding presence from the approach. Ornate stone pediments, hand-carved entablatures and arched entryways reference the language of European palatial architecture — reinterpreted for the contemporary Gulf residential context. The facade is executed in white limestone cladding, its brightness amplified against the deep blue sky and lush landscape. This project demonstrates mastery of classical European architectural language applied with technical precision to a luxury residential brief.

A comprehensive architectural design for the Information Unit of the Lebanese Internal Security Forces Directorate, strategically located near the Palace of Justice in Adlieh, Beirut. The project is conceived around a strict physical security framework — a compact square volume with controlled indirect lighting, internal gardens at multiple levels, and clear separation between public and secure zones. The facade adopts a restrained brutalist language: limestone-toned horizontal banding, recessed glazing and vertical louvred screens that communicate institutional authority without sacrificing spatial quality. The design spans 5 floors and 3 basement levels, including military vehicle bays, operational departments, shooting range and senior officer quarters. All structural systems are engineered to resist progressive collapse and blast exposure, meeting international security facility standards.

A contemporary luxury guesthouse designed for a private estate in Damour, Lebanon, where the Mediterranean coastline meets the Lebanese mountain foothills. Two bold contrasting volumes — a warm teak-clad cantilevered upper box and a crisp white rendered lower mass — are united by floor-to-ceiling glazing that dissolves the boundary between interior and landscape. A double-height atrium staircase serves as both the structural and visual spine of the home. The outdoor programme is equally resolved: a limestone-edged infinity pool, teak sun deck, canopied lounge pavilion and layered terraced gardens create a resort-calibre retreat. At dusk, warm architectural lighting transforms the residence into a glowing lantern against the mountain backdrop.

A four-storey commercial building fully designed and visualised for a private client in Freetown, Sierra Leone. Vertical teak timber louvres wrap continuously across all floors, creating a solar screen that responds to the intense West African sunlight while lending the building a warm tropical-contemporary identity. Bold white cantilevered slab edges define each floor plate, casting strong shadow lines that animate the elevation throughout the day. A lush green roof garden integrates biophilic design suited to the equatorial climate. Natural boulder landscaping and a grand stepped entrance project confidence and civic presence — and the dark monolithic stair core provides a bold architectural counterpoint to the warmth of the timber facade.

A landscape architecture intervention at Ain El Assad, Barja, transforming a neglected Ottoman-era stone spring into a vibrant public garden. The ancient vaulted stone arch and natural spring are preserved as the centrepiece — all new elements designed to celebrate the historic structure rather than compete with it. Curved teak boardwalks and bridges float over the natural pond, connecting a shaded pergola dining pavilion, a contemplative promenade and a children's play zone in a continuous landscape journey. Seasonal planting of wildflowers, reeds and mature trees ensures a different garden experience across all four seasons. The project was developed from archaeological site survey through to full 3D visualisation — a complete landscape architecture process from brief to photorealistic presentation.

A full architectural design for a private mountain villa in Mechref, Chouf District — one of Lebanon's most prestigious residential areas with sweeping views toward the coast. Two contrasting volumes define the composition: a crisp white rendered base rooted to the hillside, and a black steel-and-teak-clad cube that projects dramatically over the landscape. Vertical teak louvre screens wrap the glazed facade, providing solar shading while creating warmth against the stark black panels. Floor-to-ceiling glazing on all principal elevations connects every interior space to the mountain panorama. A rooftop pool terrace with teak decking and canopied outdoor lounge creates a private mountain retreat of exceptional quality.

Two distinct luxury lounge interiors representing different registers of high-end hospitality design. The first — a contemporary hotel lobby lounge — is defined by an iconic curved brass lattice screen rising floor to ceiling, creating intimate zones within the open-plan floor. Warm library shelving walls, bold magenta barrel chairs and layered circular pendant rings compose a space that transitions from vibrant daytime energy to intimate evening atmosphere. The second is an ultra-premium private entertainment lounge: a monumental ceiling coffer houses a sculptural white feather chandelier reflected in a gold-bordered mirror, while crescent-shaped cream boucle sofas face a backlit wine display wall with polished marble bar. Both projects are fully designed and visualised by Firas El Meouch.

Two landmark dining rooms that represent defining milestones in Firas El Meouch's career — each conceived as a total work of art. The first is an eclectic neo-classical space of extraordinary richness: a multi-tiered crystal chandelier, hand-painted impressionist fresco ceiling, Calacatta marble table and midnight velvet chairs create a room of theatrical refinement. The second operates in a warmer contemporary classic register — a deeply coffered gold timber ceiling, sculptural branching chandelier, burgundy velvet armchairs on gold loop bases, and a diamond-patterned marble floor. A museum-quality bronze athlete sculpture commands one corner, while botanical gallery walls and a custom fluted sideboard complete the composition. Both rooms balance grandeur with livability.

Twelve living room projects spanning the full breadth of Firas El Meouch's interior design vocabulary — each conceived in response to a specific client brief, lifestyle and cultural context. The collection moves from the palatial opulence of the dark neo-classical glamour suite with plum velvet and classical sculpture, to the serene restraint of the warm minimalist living room with its triple gold ring chandelier. Between these poles lie rooms of contemporary luxury, open-plan living with Calacatta marble kitchens, forest green dark minimalism, warm Japanese cinema lounges and two extraordinary penthouse rooms with double-height glazing open to panoramic sea views. Every project demonstrates an unwavering commitment to quality and client-tailored design.

Eight bedroom designs spanning luxury residential and hospitality sleep environments across multiple styles and scales. The collection opens with a palatial neo-classical master suite featuring an octagonal hand-plastered ceiling coffer, tiered crystal chandelier and floor-to-ceiling crimson tufted headboard with Art Deco gold-inlaid parquet. A contemporary hotel room follows — navy upholstered bed, herringbone walnut flooring and geometric gold pendant with private balcony city views. The dark glamour suite operates in a bold double-height volume with deep plum velvet and gold chevron wall panels. A whimsical children's twin bedroom with arc rainbow headboards and a sleeping elephant moon artwork demonstrates equal mastery of playful and refined registers. The collection closes with industrial-luxe, contemporary and hotel-standard rooms of exceptional quality.

Three kitchen designs demonstrating versatility across contemporary residential kitchen typologies. The first — a dark luxe kitchen — combines handleless graphite cabinetry, a sculptural wave-form pendant, a backlit wine and glassware display column and a Calacatta marble backsplash under warm cove lighting. The second operates in a lighter open-plan register — high-gloss white upper cabinets, smoked walnut lower units and a full-height Calacatta splash connected via peninsula bar to the dining zone. The third features a dramatic ribbed timber ceiling with integrated track lighting — grey handleless cabinetry, a floating island with open shelving and a black marble dining table completing a warm architecturally distinctive composition.
