PAULINA ZAKARIAN ARCHITECT, INTERIOR & JEWELRY DESIGNER
Dear Sir/Madam,
I have always found beauty and joy in all forms of art and design since a young age. My passion for art has now evolved into becoming an architect, interior and jewelry designer.

ZAKARIAN ARCHITECT, INTERIOR & JEWELRY DESIGNER
 Â? Â?Â?Â? Â
Upon graduation , I focused on the design and artistic aspects of architecture. I also obtained the jewelry design certificate along the way. What I learned during these years is that design is essentially about a few major things: attention to detail, a bit of inspiration and it is where practicality meets beauty. Having two jobs at once for over two years, I have practiced creative & conceptual thinking, understanding of how to generate an idea from a concept to its execution, and having the ability to implement it. Moreover, I experienced meeting with clients and understanding their needs in any given project. With a background in architecture and a passion for design, I deliver a unique combination of artistic talent and technical expertise. My resume and design portfolio are enclosed for your review. Given my related experience and excellent capabilities, I would appreciate your consideration for this job opening, as I believe my skills are an ideal match for this position. I look forward to speaking with you and discussing my qualifications in more detail. Sincerely,
Paulina Zakarian

PROJECT NAME: MM LOFT PROJECT TYPE: RENOVATION PROJECT LOCATION: MAR MIKHAEL, BEIRUT YEAR: 2020
This is a renovation project for a cozy residential studio that used to be a workshop. The building is in an old neighborhood in the heart of the city, with 4 meter high ceilings and colorful cement tiles. Borrowing the best from modern and bohemian styles, this kitchen design offers a balance of both classic elegance and modern materials. The interior walls have a warm color base of pink and coral, interspersed with wooden furniture and decoration. A good dose of rattan elements, alongside a peppering of indoor plants have helped to achieve a chilled earthy eclectic aesthetic.

Classic Elegant Bar
PROJECT NAME: HB RESIDENCE PROJECT TYPE: BAR DESIGN LOCATION: MOUNT LEBANON YEAR: 2020
The design of the bar was kind of limited in the sense that it was meant to match the entrance of the apartment shown below with its use of wood and crisp lines and geometric shapes .The style is something between modern and mid-century modern with its simplicity and clean lines of furniture design. It is an unadorned design with few ornamental details and a neutral color palette taking into consideration the functionality and spacing.

PROJECT NAME: TIGER’S BBQ GRILL PROJECT TYPE: RESTAURANT LOCATION: BEIRUT YEAR: 2018
This sports themed restaurant is named after a professional Lebanese basketball player with the nickname of “Tiger”. The diner’s concept evidently comes from basketball with its court lines as flooring, lockers as a storage and the numbered tables. It has created a vibrant envirnoment for youngsters who are fans of the game to gather around after practice for a burger and a shake. The diner has a lengthy space and an open kitchen for easier communication.
