The regeneration scheme deals with the overall planning of Jerusalem’s city hall district and its Municipal square. The origins of its construction, may be traced to the emergence of Jewish neighborhoods outside of the Old City Walls during the latter half of the 19th Century. The compound includes a variety of buildings, some unique examples of Ottoman architecture and numerous late 19th-early 20th Century buildings, planned by some of the finest British architects from the Mandate period. The new scheme proposes the construction of new buildings and re-uses of existing ones. Its goal is the strengthening the touristic, commercial, and residential activities of the compound, as well intensifying the usage of its public spaces.

The Jerusalem Academy of Music and Dance holds an essential place in the cultural history of the city. Initially established in 1933, the academy is both a school as well as a performance venue.
The academy sought to confront a persistent programmatic flaw in its operation as a world-renowned and international institute of performing arts. While its curriculum is strong, the campus lacked a proper performance space or a stage of any kind.
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.

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.
A remarkable historic landmark house with a huge garden built in 1930’s. The studio was careful to maintain the character of the rooms and strived to return the beauty and glory to this former mansion.
Due to the strict regulations the exterior was not allowed to be altered, even the original iron front doors and porch railings had to be restored.
The studio was commissioned to review plans and bring a halted renovation project to completion. One of the challenges was to revamp a dreary long and narrow basement with extremely problematic givens (no light, a low ceiling of 2.25cm., unseemly pipes, and more) and turn it into a prominent lounge.
