Philharmonic is located on the site of the original guest house and rehearsal space of the Israeli Philharmonic Orchestra in northern Tel Aviv at 28 Shai Agnon Street.  Image Courtesy © Amit Geron

The high-level apartments within both buildings include balconies that are spaced from one another and built in an “L” configuration that allows for privacy and direct views to the Hayarkon Park, the “Central Park of Tel Aviv,” and Mediterranean Sea. The units also allow for the possibility of combining a floating room and flexibility of customized interior design schemes. The original plan called for two buildings to be diverted and built around a public passageway and open courtyard between the buildings. Bar Orian directed the passage to the border of the center of the project and on its eastern side of the lot, resulting in lush garden areas for the use of the tenants. This open space was used for the location of fitness facilities and outdoor spaces that includes ornamental fountains and lush Mediterranean vegetation.

The horizontal lines that curve at the edges of the building emphasize its volume and shape, along with the colors chosen to emphasize the planes. The edifice and inspiration of the project is an homage to the continuous movement of this structure, simulating the notes, rhythm and texture of orchestra musical instruments. The Philharmonica Building by Bar Orian follows the latest projects by the award-winning Tel Aviv firm, including Mapu 5, a square-shaped, new-build residential property located on the corner of Mapu and Yehoash Streets in the heart of Tel Aviv’s UNESCO World Heritage site, the White City; Zamenhof Compound, an early 20th-century building that was restored and modernized with the addition of two contemporary floors; Villa Rothschild, a residential project on Tel Aviv’s most prestigious boulevard and anchored around a restored 1920’s building by architect Joseph Berlin and the Ahad Ha’am Tower in Haifa, 24-floor modern skyscraper consisting of 170 residential units, commercial spaces, artist studios, a library and high-tech incubator located within a burgeoning neighborhood in Haifa, Israel’s third largest city.
