View of the garden was limited, and the sole access to it was through a utility room located between the basement and the ground floors.

Particular aspects of the design aim to achieve a sense of merging of the garden and the inner space:  Image Courtesy © Tamir Addadi Architecture  Image Courtesy © Tamir Addadi Architecture The stone floor of the garden extends into the lounge, and forms its low wall. It creates the effect of a large stone box that slightly enters the house. This ‘box’ is identical in shape and size to the one forming the higher level of the garden.

It also provides privacy at night.
