In the vibrant heart of Beirut, designer Diana Ghandour has carved out her personal sanctuary — a serene, light-filled triplex that feels more like a mindful retreat than a city home. Known for her mastery of modern loft living, Ghandour opens her doors to Marie Claire Maison, offering an intimate look into a space that embodies harmony, flow, and personality.

“I see my home as an oasis of calm,” she says, reflecting a design ethos built on emotional resonance and functionality. Designed to mirror her own lifestyle, the triplex balances softness and strength — an interplay of fluid shapes, thoughtful zoning, and bold, charismatic pieces. To create coherence without monotony, she relied on curated palettes to distinguish each zone, allowing every corner to express its own identity while staying in dialogue with the rest.

Organic lines and sculptural silhouettes bring motion and warmth into the space. “What is weird and unusual is always interesting,” Ghandour notes, championing the beauty of exaggerated forms that challenge expectations. Natural materials — wood, marble, steel — ground the interiors in elegance, their tactile richness quietly amplifying the home’s soul.

Details matter. From hand-picked sculptures to a curated mix of brands, every item is selected with intention. “I love to mix and match — it’s the details that imbue character,” she says.

Infused with Feng Shui principles and bathed in natural light, the triplex is more than a designer’s residence; it’s a masterclass in how space can uplift and energise. In Ghandour’s world, beauty is never just aesthetic — it’s emotional, atmospheric, and deeply personal.
