His project involves the creation of a restaurant and bar concept fully constructed from shipping containers and reclaimed junk and recycled materials.
Situated in the heart of Beirut amidst the remnants of past conflicts, this extraordinary venue spans 1200 square meters and comprises 12 shipping containers, some stacked on top of each other to create a two-story establishment.
The venue features an interior area,a rooftop lounge,and an outdoor garden bar,accommodating up to 500 people.
What truly distinguishes The Junkyard is the extensive use of reclaimed,recycled,and transformed materials.
Examples include a 1936 tractor repurposed as a bar facade and the rear end of a garbage collector truck transformed into a VIP dining area with a small private balcony.
The end result is a captivating and one-of - a - kind space.
Ramy's achievement in 'The Junkyard' was a highly individual endeavor.
He took charge of the project's concept, design, execution, foundations, steel structure, electrical connections, sewage systems, and furniture.
Remarkably, he accomplished all this with no plans in hand but his vision and without the assistance of professional architects or engineers.
His team of workers executed his vision under his meticulous supervision, allowing him to focus on every detail and make modifications until the discarded materials were transformed into individual works of art. The environmental issue addressed by Ramy's projects is more of an awakening and an effort to raise awareness, reducing potential problems in the future.
