Enter the Rabbit Hole: BUS Architects Turns Heads with Award-Winning Speakeasy Design

BUS Architects isn’t just designing spaces, they’re scripting immersive experiences where architecture, art, and attitude collide. With studios in Beirut and Dubai, this boundary-pushing firm has been transforming restaurants, hotels, and lifestyle venues into theatrical, high-concept worlds since 2008.

With bold imagination and masterful precision, BUS Architects has been named by Luxury Lifestyle Awards as a Winner of the 2025 Award for Best Luxury Restaurant Interior Design for their visionary work on Lucy Lu The Speakeasy in Gemmayzeh, Lebanon. This prestigious recognition honors the studio’s exceptional talent for blending sculptural sophistication, cinematic atmosphere, and story-driven design into an experiential space and hospitality experience that defies convention and lingers in memory.

Founded in 2008, BUS Architects is a boutique interior architecture studio with offices in Beirut and Dubai, offering end-to-end design solutions for discerning clients in the fields of hospitality, retail, F&B, and residential spaces. The firm is known for transforming concepts into expressive environments, where form meets function, and every element, from lighting to artwork, becomes part of the story.

Nowhere is this mastery more evident than in Lucy Lu The Speakeasy, a hidden gem tucked behind a boutique storefront in Beirut’s vibrant cultural district. Guests step through a dramatic blue vault door into a world of cinematic lighting, sculptural detail, and surreal ambiance. At its center stands Lucy Lu, a striking warrior rabbit handcrafted from sustainable materials – symbolizing femininity, strength, and fantasy. BUS Architects’ holistic approach brought the space to life through interior architecture, furniture and fixture selection, and original art direction, achieving a space that is as experiential as it is elegant.

“BUS Architects has raised the bar in luxury interior design with their remarkable work on Lucy Lu,” said Alexander Chetchikov, President of the World Luxury Chamber of Commerce. “Their visionary use of storytelling, paired with sustainable practices and sophisticated aesthetics, has elevated the future of hospitality design.”

From reclaimed wood to energy-efficient LED lighting, sustainability was effortlessly woven into the project’s design ethos – proof that luxury and responsibility can coexist without compromise.
