2B DESIGN

2b design is an award winning social enterprise which transforms architectural salvage from destroyed 18th, 19th and early 20th c. houses into one-of-a-kind home décor creations. We employ disadvantaged people of diverse ethnic, cultural and religious backgrounds to promote reconciliation. Currently, our main way of fulfilling this goal is by employing the disabled craftsmen at the Arcenciel workshop in Jisr al-Wati. We are hoping to continue to expand our social impact through collaborations with various other organizations in the coming years.

7K Ghzayyel Restoration

The Ghzayyel could be restored to an exemplary river with impeccable water quality in its first 7 km stretch, something which is now very rare in populated rural areas in Lebanon. This is achieved through developing a holistic intervention design, implementing it by employing the right skills in the right places, using sustainable low maintenance technologies, and incapacitating local communities and integrating municipal efforts to maintain and monitor.
