Beirut Mirage is a Micro home that might be installed in any urban or natural environment; city, village, park, forest, mountain, desert and beach, where it would reflect its landscape and panorama. When it is installed in an area, it integrates with its scenery and becomes a real part of it, its mirrored walls produce a kaleidoscope effect.

We subtly adjust the dimensions of Beirut Mirage to suit the different locations it is taken to, creating a work that we describe as “the sum of the landscape around it”. Such a curvilinear shape offers an interesting contrast to the typical cube or rectangular prism, and it may also mean that less material is required (and therefore, less waste) to manipulate into a structure.
