Carl Gerges is a multi-disciplinary architect born in 1987, based between Beirut, Dubai, and Paris. Having graduated from the American University of Beirut with a degree in Architecture, Gerges likes to imagine a lifestyle centered around nature and mindful living through his designs. 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 renowned rock band “Mashrou Leila’’ prompted an interest in the intersection between music, travel, 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 with the band immersed Gerges further in the world of architecture. Performances in venues like Le Grand Palais and L’Olympia in Paris, The Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, the Musée Yves Saint Laurent in Morocco, and Baalbek in Lebanon, became a source of inspiration that informs his practice today - often involving stage-like volumes and dramatic lighting.
Founded in 2020, his studio “Carl Gerges Architects” 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.
