The owners of this 800 sqm plot, hired the services of architect Eyal Apple to design a Modern home. Apple planned exposed open spaces with a large opening leading out to a big garden that can be seen from every corner in the house. Despite the use of concrete throughout the property, the outcome is warm and inviting.
The construction of the property lasted 18 months. The 290 sqm property spreads across two levels with an additional 80 sqm basement level. The property was built as two cubes, the top cube in exposed concrete seems to almost hover above the ground level structure that was cladded in natural black stone. A long and narrow window separates between the levels and a vertical wooden slat panel provides the top-level bedrooms with privacy.
The client had lived in Japan for a number of years before moving back to India and was very inspired by the works of Tadao Ando and his use of exposed concrete in his projects.
He wanted to bring in some of that into his home but on a budget.
The house is envisaged as a large concrete tray that hovers over a white monolith.
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.
Today NO ARCHITECTURE principal and architect Andrew Heid revealed the design for his largest residential design to date: the 8,250 square foot residence “Risingmountain” that ascends a dramatically sloping site on Red Mountain in Aspen, Colorado.

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.

This cleverly designed property is the result of forward thinking planning that took into consideration the holistic living needs of the owners and their grown children. Architect Ron Rozen created a spacious property with independent entrances to each one of the children’s fully equipped living suits, providing them with all the privacy they need whilst still living at home.
