The jagged line that winds in and out throughout this garden-level apartment designed by the architect Yaron Eldad in Tel Aviv emphasizes interesting architecture and space with careful design.
This couple and their 3 children turned to Eldad with a property that did not suit their needs, as they suffered from the poor design of a low-rise ground floor, and a very high ground floor with no windows. The customers asked for a pampering and luxurious master room, a room for a future baby and another room. At the same time, they wanted an optimal space for hosting where they could comfortably accommodate a large amount of people.
Our interior design for Fitness 22, a company that builds health and fitness apps, reflects the main values of this closed-knitted company, which is dedicated to advanced technology and wellness.
To keep the space cozy and personal, while highlighting the work of the company, we combined home-like elements with wellness and sports motifs. The main kitchen has a “just like home” feeling; the lounges are comfortable and inviting; and sports-inspired graphic elements created by Studio Luka, including a climbing wall, decorate walls and offices.
With a view of the Tel Aviv’s skyscrapers and its urban vegetation, a wonderful apartment has evolved, combining quiet materiality and a touch of humor. The building has undergone a massive renovation designed by architect Raz Melamed with the aim of adapting to the needs and desires of the young tenant, who has a fondness for order and a love of art items that symbolize aesthetics equally as much as good memories. From the beginning, it was clear that the design of the apartment would place emphasis on displaying diverse art, and would respond to the client’s requests such as a large bedroom, gym, and a place to entertain.
Prior to the renovation, the layout of the apartment included 3 bedrooms, a small kitchen and a crowded living space. In addition, the laundry room and the original guest bathroom created a long, narrow corridor that led to the rooms, which was a disruptive factor in the natural flow of architecture.
We worked together with Max’s marketing team and D.S. Blay Architects to create the language and design for their 7-floor office complex. Our goal was to create a different and innovative design for each of the floors based on the company’s branding book language. We chose a material for each floor symbolizing the type of work of each department. For example, for the HR department we utilized fabric, which symbolizes human connection. We decorated meeting rooms, phone booths, a large cafeteria, and incorporated motion graphics on the first floor to give a first impression of innovation and technology. In summary, seven floors of cutting edge, fun and inspiring environmental graphic design.

A Tel Aviv loft apartment located in the iconic Zamenhof Clinic building, whose unfussy Bauhaus style has been preserved in the building’s 21st century transformation into a luxurious residential complex.
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.
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.
