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 Azriel Faculty of Design’s Workshops building (ECO-TUBES) contains several workshops (wood, metal, foam, paint and more), classrooms, offices and galleries, as well as the Gottesman Department of Jewelry Design. The building is part of the planned renovation of Shenkar’s campus by Geotectura.
Background –
Over the years, there have been several master plans and competitions that attempted to do this. Most of them called for demolishing the existing campus. However, the winning proposal was chosen, in part, because it offers a moderate solution based on stages and the ability to build upon what already exists; the plan fits the partial budget currently available and does not require an interruption of studies at the college.
This prestigious villa is composed of two buildings: A house with a built-up area of about 700 m looking out onto the pool, and a guest house with a built-up area of about 200 m that sits directly on the edge of the pool.
Within the framework of this unique project, we challenged the forces of gravity by means of a floating cube/ark with a size of about 70 m which serves as the master bedroom and is connected by a bridge to another part of the residential floor. The ceiling of the ark is disconnected from the rounded roof above it, and an upper window lets the daylight in (with appropriate lighting also during evening hours), completing the ark’s detachment on all sides.

In the cube-shaped family home there is a striking interplay between open and closed spaces, the private and public domain, and light and darkness. The origin of this harmonious duality lies in the starting point of the planning process – the cube. Structurally, the cube is closed and confined; but when fused with other cubes, a new, dynamic shape emerges.
The Michal and Avraham Kadar Media Lab was designed by Geotectura for Shenkar College within an 90 years old building. The project has many labs and workshops as part of a retrofit and add-ons design but the main element is a floating steel and glass structure within the existing fabric. The project includes a center for interaction design and technology, a computer gaming lab, plastic workshop and 3D printing lab.
The Wohl Centre, a major expansion to the Bar-Ilan University Campus in Ramat-Gan, Israel, completed in 2005 is the central convention center for the university, utilized for university programs and special events. The 38,000-square-foot convention center stands on a critical crossroad in the campus and opens a dialogue between the university and its neighbors. As such, it is a gateway and beacon for the students, faculty, guests and the public.
