The Mark

Three arches inspired by traditional Lebanese architecture. Doorways to focused work, where clarity emerges and ideas take shape.

Above them, the sukun: an Arabic mark denoting stillness. Together they form the letter س, the soul of سْكون.

A brand rooted in heritage. Built for those who value environment as much as outcome.

Heritage Lebanese tradition
Stillness Refuge from noise
Focus Deep work spaces

01

Overview

Skoun is a boutique thinking and work house in Beit Mery, created inside a renovated heritage home with a large garden. It is designed for focused work and meaningful meetings in a calm environment.

Skoun is not a coworking space. It is a deliberate alternative to noisy public venues.

The Problem

In Beit Mery and Broumana, professional meetings currently take place in coffee shops and busy public venues. These spaces lack:

🔇

Privacy

Confidential conversations are overheard. Sensitive discussions lack the discretion they require.

🎯

Focus

Constant noise and interruptions break concentration and disrupt deep work sessions.

Infrastructure

No screens, no reliable WiFi, no meeting rooms. The tools for modern work are missing.

04

The Solution

Heritage Character

Renovated Lebanese home with authentic architectural details that create an atmosphere modern offices cannot replicate.

Modern Design

Creative interiors that inspire without distraction. Thoughtfully designed spaces that foster clarity.

Calm Interiors

Rooms designed for clarity, collaboration, and comfort. Every detail considered for productive work.

Large Garden

Outdoor space for meetings, thinking, and contemplation. A rare amenity in professional venues.

05

Target Audience

"Not for everyone. For those who understand that where you work shapes how you think."

Founders & Entrepreneurs

Strategic planning, investor meetings, focused building time

Consultants & Creatives

Client meetings, project work, creative sessions

Small Teams & Partners

Workshops, offsites, collaborative work sessions

Remote Professionals

An alternative to cafés and noisy venues for deep work

06

1

Renovated Heritage House

Authentic Lebanese architecture creates an atmosphere that modern offices can't replicate

2

Large outdoor space for meetings, thinking, and events. Rare in professional venues.

3

Discreetly Integrated Technology

Modern tech hidden within heritage aesthetics. Professional without feeling sterile.
