Start-Up Nation Central (SNC), an NGO whose mission is to connect the world to Israeli innovation, is launching L28CulinaryPlatform, Israel's first chef accelerator restaurant. The restaurant is located on the ground floor of Start-Up Nation Central's new headquarters, designed by local architecture firm Kimmel Eshkolot Architects. L28 Culinary Platform will be operated by Yarzin-Sella Group (Cafe Italia, Magazzino, Taqueria). Named after its address on Tel Aviv's storied Lilienblum Street, the restaurant boasts an innovative culinary concept, which sees a new and promising Israeli chef take up residency in the kitchen every six months. The first chef in residency at L28 Culinary Platform is Shuli Wimer.
Its easy to presume that this is a once in a life time project. From the very first meeting with the clients it was obvious that this is no ordinary ride.
It was clear that we are to release our boundaries and act as craftsman creating a blank canvas, that will allow constantly shifting the focus from the architecture to the huge owner's collection and back.
A beautiful and small three-bedroom Jerusalem vacation apartment. The family requested something contemporary and trendy, so we opted for the timeless and classic black and white color palette, a combination always sure to make a statement. By keeping the décor simple and clean the apartment, though small, feels airy and the interesting contrasts in the various rooms (bedroom, living area, kitchen) provide the classic yet modern look the client requested. For diversity, different patterns were also included in the mix – as in the wallpaper and cushions. A pop of grey, with brass here and there complete this modern chic look.
The Queen's house is a very unique project for our studio.
The house was designed for a young family of 4.
The main focus of the design was to blend the interior with the exterior to the fullest but at the same time make sure that the house is cool in summer time and warm during the winter,(very hot summers and chill winters) that means that every window opening was carefully examined.
The owners of this 70-square-meters studio apartment wished to create an modern getaway for themselves in the historic Neve Tzedek neighborhood in Tel Aviv. The architect Raz Melamed was chosen for the project. Melamed had previous experience with refurbishing and modernizing historic properties in the neighboring ancient city of Jaffa, but the project in Neve Tzedek presented a whole new set of challenges. However, within a few months of hard labored work alongside creative engineer Buki Snir and contractor Elad Cohen, Melamed succeeded in revealing the property’s hidden promise and giving it new life.
The bar is located in the heart of “G”shopping complex in Kfar Sava city, about 360 square meters that the customers requested to be adapted to the group's branding and design principles. The guiding principle behind the project was to create a feeling in which the interior would feel like the exterior, so two large olive trees were placed in the space with a common sitting around them. The main floor was paved with natural basalt stone of various sizes, which continues the appearance of the sidewalk from the outside to the interior. In the rear of the space, a wooden structure was erected in the appearance of a greenhouse to conceal the operational area of the site.

Amir Mann-Ami Shinar Architects and Planners in partnership with Moshe Zur Architects, two of Israel's leading firms, announce the opening of Israel's Ilan and Asaf Ramon International Airport, servicing the Red Sea resort city of Eilat and surrounding region. Commissioned by the Israel Airport Authority (IAA), the project was handled from A to Z by design manager, Architect Amir Mann. Located in Timna, it is Israel's first civil airport built from scratch (“greenfield”).
Spread across 1,250 acres, the airport is a minimalist and futuristic design in the middle of the Negev Desert, wholly unified under one architectural language. The architects served as project design managers, leading more than 45 consulting firms, nearly all local Israeli engineers, alongside ARUP London's aviation team. Situated just 18 KM north of Eilat, the Ilan and Asaf Ramon International Airport will become a major game changer for local and international tourism to Israel, Jordan and Egypt's Sinai Desert.
Massimiliano and Doriana Fuksas have been selected to build the new International Congress Center [ICC] of Jerusalem, one of the most attractive cities in the world, for its history, its position and its wonderful climate, to hold large international events.
The ICC Jerusalem is located in the “City Gateway”, a district characterized by the presence of financial, commercial, cultural, tourist and entertainment activities, destined to become the new gateway to the city of Jerusalem. The “City Gateway” constitutes the expansion of the “Central Business District” – CBD, which extends from Yafo Street to the Government Center and the National Museum. The goal of the project is to consolidate and expand the cultural vocation of the district.
The new International Congress Center will be built around the existing Ussishkin Hall Building, which will be redesigned to host international shows and conferences. Thanks to this expansion, the Jerusalem ICC will become the largest conference center in the Middle East.
Alibaba Group's new offices located in Azrielli buildings – Tel Aviv, Israel. The brief received by the clients was that they wanted the space to feel welcoming and up to date. They wanted the offices to become home to the workers and for them to feel that both the floor plan and materials all create a warm and sophisticated feeling. In addition, part of the brief was that we need to take into account the systems on site, which we mostly had to keep untouched, preserving what was already there and making the minimum amount of changes.
In recent years the city of Haifa is undergoing a process of accelerated urban renewal. Opposite forces operate in an area that has been neglected and desolate for years, and seeking to instill in it seemingly contradictory values: Western influences vis-à-vis Oriental ones, local vis-à-vis foreign, Jewish vis-à-vis Arab, residential vis-à-vis commercial, innovation vis-à-vis traditionalism, and daily life vis-à-vis nightlife.
In the heart of this developing region, the Fattoush Bar & Gallery – a huge 650 square meter space dedicated entirely to culinary arts, arts and crafts – has recently been opened and is wisely using recycled design, furniture and décor that have been carefully collected from flea markets around the world. Thus the project puts itself at the forefront of the re-use trend, which now sets the tone for international architecture.
“When we started working on the project, we quickly realized that the real story here is the struggle itself, and the constant tension between the new and old elements that seek to determine the face of Haifa,” says Kfir Galatia-Azulay, an artist, architect and multidisciplinary designer and owner of the Tel Aviv office K.O.T Architects, who led the process along with entrepreneur Wadie Shahbarat.
