The design is clean and very limited in architectural elements. Basic finish materials: white plaster, iron and glass.
The old house served the family while raising children. Now, when the children left home, it is home for the couple and serves for hosting the family and the grandchildren.
The Savyon residential area was built to guarantee a pleasant isolated life outside the city limits. It is a luxury “gated community” consisting of villas surrounded by parks and gardens and is no more than 18 minutes from Tel Aviv and the Ben Gurion airport. So, although appreciated for its natural surroundings, it has easy access to the country’s various infrastructures and road links.
Cristal is located where we understand the essential of nature: its fragility. Today, the nivel of the Dead Sea, lowest emerged point in the earth, is reducing by one meter per year and is destined to disappear in 2050. The purpose of Cristal is to sensitize people to the
interpretation of its specific nature.
The planned Check-Point Building for the Faculty of Computer Science and for science-oriented youth is located in the center of the campus, between the buildings of the Physics and Mathematics Faculties and the Dan David building. The building is designed to enable separation between the two groups of users, and yet to encourage informal meetings between them, by allowing the joint use of some facilities, such as the auditorium and large classrooms.
The PSES building was designed as a “green building” with a synergetic perspective integrating the three elements of sustainability – environment, society and economy – into architecture. As an environmental, ecological structure, the building design utilized environmental parameters (such as solar radiation, wind, acoustics and more) in determining the form that the building would take and its position on the site. Unlike the traditional approach that examine the building’s performance “after the fact”, the design method employed in the initial stages of the design used performance simulation results to generate the actual form of the building.
Our proposal for the new Regional Council of Building of the District of Judea is based on a balance between our desire to insert a modest intervention in the landscape and a need to design a public building with a substantial formal presence. The relatively large lot (almost 20 dunam) and the modest program, led us to divide the areas into three building masses: a formal “cube” at the upper road with two wings at the lower road, embracing a public plaza.
The Mechanical Engineering Workshop Building functions as a utility building for the Department of Mechanical engineering. Its program is arranged with a variety of tall and small spaces for a selection of large and small mechanical tools and systems. The building is shaped in relationship to traffic approach and loading and unloading procedures It is designed in exposed concrete in relationship to the old concrete campus of the 50’s to match the modern Architectural language of the School of Mechanical Engineering Complex.
131 Hebron Road Residential Building is a luxury apartment building in the southern Arnona neighborhood in Jerusalem. The project is a hybrid design of a new building attached to an old modernist colonial building at the southern outskirts of Jerusalem.
54 HaNevi’im Street is the new branding name for a luxurious boutique hotel in a landmark building in the Historic City Center of Jerusalem. The original building is a two storey 19th century eclectic building onto which we are proposing an additional floor that would match stylistically the original structure. This project involves both a meticulous preservation work of an existing structure and at the same time reinvention of its interior to function as a modern high end hotel.
Creating an L shaped house, determined by the lot’s geometry, with flowing mass of blocks with horizontal lines and characteristics. The structure is relatively closed in the direction of the street in order to provide privacy, while part of the design concept was to create a stimulus and attract people to enter the house, like peeking through a keyhole. This concept is translated into the design of a front façade, built out of two layers with an opening in the wall, while the second layer, the inner wall, is in black stone cladding, with glass windows.
