This apartment, located in central Ramat Gan, a city just a few minutes from Tel Aviv, Israel, received a powerful and yet elegant renovation by interior designer Maya Sheinberger. She designed it for a young family of four, a couple and their two teenage sons, who wished for an open space that will allow them to express their love for cooking and entertaining. The apartment is 130 m² and was originally built in the 1970’s, the bedrooms were renovated a few years ago, therefore were not included in the current project.
The House for Singing & Choir Performance Center is a performance hall and education center for classical choir singing located amongst the rolling fields of Israel’s rural area of Emek Hefer.
The House for Singing is comprised of a Main Concert Hall of 550 seats, a smaller hall of 100 seats, a recording studio, two rehearsal rooms – one large and one medium sized, together with a generous foyer area and office spaces. All interior facilities will be under one roof, whereas unique exterior facilities are extended outside the walls of the building, where there is a garden dedicated to Sound, Music and Singing. The garden will consist of various outdoor spaces suitable to hold concerts and performances, teach classes, and will provide a social place for families and the community to spend time.
Biga is the leading food chain in Israel with over 45 shops around the country. Biga is a combination of an Italian bistro with a small high-quality bakery, and a shop with fresh and great products and pasta made by Biga factory and other local small companies. All those located at every shop which serves all day food, great pastries and Cafe.
This multifunctional space deigned to give a great experience between a classical old street atmosphere with verity of seating systems and a cozy feeling.
RUST architects designed and planed over 30 shops for Biga already and five new ones will be open at the next year.
The project engages in the important issue of Inclusive design. Making sure that the provision of accessibility would not result in an unattractive, stigmatizing, remedial environment that announces people's disability, but rather, to create a setting where everyone would feel comfortable and equal.
Surrounded by houses built in the 1940’s with sloping roofs covered by concrete tiles, the GN house stands out with its bright color and modernist simple shape. The house is slightly lifted from the street level and defined by a few basic materials and colors: concrete in white, steel and aluminum in black, and wood in its natural color.
Metropole Architects have recently completed TLV House on the outskirts of Tel Aviv. The project represents the crowning achievement of a successful international collaboration between an Israeli client and project manager, an Arab Israeli contractor, a Russian Israeli engineer and a South African architect.
Designed and developed by Metropole Architects in Durban, South Africa, the logistical challenge posed by international work was effectively managed by means of intermittent site visits, regular video conference calls, and a remotely controlled webcam mounted on site which provided a virtual 'man on the ground' and enabled the architects to monitor progress on site at all times from South africa. The further challenges presented by the language and contextual differences were overcome by the collective spirit of mutual respect, between the members of the project team, that developed naturally as the project progressed.
Salto is a Fin-tech company and their profession has to remain classified. Therefore, the first brief we received from the client dealt with the company's name which was originally chosen for many relevant reasons.
The word 'Salto' in Italian means Jump. Our studio took the meaning of the name along with the company's logo and this constituted the bases to the concept of this project. The logo consists of a dot and an abstract shape that when connected they create a jumping figure. This dot developed and became a pattern changing throughout the corridors. We used this dot in a varied range of scales, and this tells the story of both the company and their space. The scale also allowed a balanced game between concealment and revelation. Part of the brief consisted of a request that even the open space seaters receive a yard of their own, a transparent cell, allowing communication yet privacy.
An Italian restaurant located in tira offering customers a variety of Italian fusion food.

The restaurant was planned and designed with various areas which allow its owners to hold private events without closing the whole restaurant.
Playstudios offices, planned and designed by RUST Architects, are located in a complex of three industrial buildings in south Tel Aviv, which served as an exhibition and events hall and an old sewing workshop of Kastiel, Israel's oldest high-end furniture company.
Unlike most of new high-tech offices in Tel Aviv, which are located in new towers, the planning required the design of an existing industrial complex, constructed of beams, concrete pillars, and wide windows that are open to a large inner courtyard with its old tree and climbing plants that are synonymous with the complex.
Designed by London-based practice, Amos Goldreich Architecture, alongside local firm, Jacobs-Yaniv Architects, this shelter is one of only a handful in the world which has been designed and built in consultation with the staff who will occupy and run it. Led by pioneering human rights activist, Ruth Rasnic, for international charity ‘No To Violence’, the facility will provide a much-needed refuge for distressed and abused women and children from all localities and backgrounds.
According to World Health Organisation data up to 45% of women in Israel, like most countries in the west, will be victims of domestic violence at some stage in their lives and recent statistics indicate that 45% of children in Israel are subjected to violence. This is a worldwide epidemic.
