A thin black iron ribbon envelops the house in Hod Hasharon, embodying the gift that its owners return to every time they come home.
The house was designed for a refined couple and their 3 children, who came to the project equipped with knowledge about innovations and construction technologies coupled with a vision for a unique design that spawned a fruitful dialogue with the architect.
In this 500-square-meter plot, architect Raz Melamed plays masses and transparencies which hide behind meticulous architecture and an interesting and harmonious combination of materials.
The House features spectacular architecture through balanced touches of concrete, wood, black and white which seamlessly lace from the exterior to the interior of the house in all their glory. From the outside, the building looks like a singular house, but the inside tells a different story: two brothers, two separate programs and two houses living side by side, with a common wall separating them, which is in fact the only architectural element they have in common. The initial design of this house was done by architect Eyal Apple and continued by architect Raz Melamed in coordination with the building engineer.
Tenants are a couple in their 30s, an accountant and engineer, and their three children (7 years old, 9 years old and 1 year old).The house is a private house of 290 sq.m. built on a half-acre lot.
The architecture and interior design of the house are the artwork of Shirli Zamir, the owner of the house, who has 14 years of experience at planning and designing working environments. During her work as a colleague at “Setter Architects”, she planned big and famous offices such as “Facebook”, “Algotec”, “Autodesk”, “Paloalto”, “Fiverr” and many more. Some of the projects planned by Shirli won local and international awards.
The municipality of Hod-Hasharon was established as a cluster of four colonies or neighborhoods, each of which has its own center of public activities. The aim of the proposed municipal civic center is to create a complex of public services in an area common to the four neighborhoods, to unite them into a municipal fabric.
