The master plan from the Dutch LEVS Architecten restores the historical grid of streets, disrupted by industrial and private construction, aligns it and creates a rich environment based on the ‘city within the city’ principle, with variously sized and designed houses, a square, an avenue, numerous shopping facilities and amenities. Brusnika was the project’s contractor and developer.
Over the past few years, atelier PRO has developed a unique small scale neighbourhood called Roosenhorst, set within the historical cultural landscape of the Duivenvoorde corridor. This corridor, located on the western coast of the Netherlands, stretches out across a beach ridge, with the dunes to one side and the Vliet river and typical Dutch peat meadows to the other. This is a semi-open landscape, with stately tree-lined lanes with monumental farms, country estates and villas.
Bar Orian Architects, a leading international architecture firm based in Israel and established by Tal and Gidi Bar Orian in 1990, today officially announces its work for Villa Rothschild, an architectural marvel situated along Tel Aviv’s namesake Rothschild Boulevard.
Villa Rothschild embodies the essence of modern architecture and urban design in Tel Aviv as a perfect example of how the past and present intertwine. The project’s two new buildings were designed as a reflection of one another and a juxtaposition to the Eclectic-era villa that is part of the city’s UNESCO World Heritage Site for Bauhaus architecture-style buildings and sits between the contemporary structures. Together, the three buildings create an additional and contemporary layer in the urban fabric of Tel Aviv, and an example of the architectural development of the city’s new class of residential offerings.
Among all the spaces around man, the most effective one is ‘HOME’ where one can experience a sense of belonging and gets used to it.
The architecture of today’s houses, is just defined and limited among the boundaries used as sleeping spaces, and not a delightful atmosphere, thus this causes some people to lose vitality and dynamism. Meanwhile, by looking at the past, we would find out that with the presence of nature in combination with the houses, life was way different from today.

The land that is now City Hall Park has a long and rich history as a green space and public commons. Portions of the commons have been used as grounds for a 1691 almshouse, a cemetery, and the British military. During the Revolutionary War it also became a place of protest, with five “Liberty Poles” erected between 1770 and 1776. When the war was won it was chosen as the site for the new City Hall. For a brief period at the end of the 19th Century the southern portion was home to New York’s Central Post Office, but was returned to open, public space in 1910. As a result of the park’s enduring history as civic gathering space, the city has organized itself around it, creating a green urban room walled with a historical tapestry of architecture.
25 Park Row sits at the southeastern border of City Hall Park, across from the iconic 1913 Woolworth Building. COOKFOX’s vision for its design was to complete the urban room, taking inspiration from, and complementing the historical architecture around it, while crafting a building that stands on its own as an example of beautiful biophilic design.
