![]() |
This project is located in the entrance to the historical city – Jaffa, The uniqueness of the location led to a unique architectural design as well as conceptual thinking. By redefining the conventional design processes and ignoring fashionable or conventional design techniques. In the design process extra attention was paid to the original character of the area. Viewing the surrounding, one can notice the “architecture of details” characteristics: graceful and human scale, variety of balconies, costume designed steel rails, sand stones, arches, inner gardens, etc. This building reflects all the above
elements, combining modern high tech building techniques perfecting to the
highest quality for building standards. The design is sensitive to the
existing area and arises from it, as an “awaking beauty”. Yet, setting
new standards for future development. The
reflection of the city is not only in architectural exterior design but
also in interior design were the balconies bring the view into the
apartments. |

The
project is located in a newly developing section of the city, which used
to be consisted of small businesses such as garages, millworks etc..
the gentle touch in the design of the building set new standards of
building and development in the area. This pioneering design not only
changed the urban characteristic of the area by introducing residential
housing to it, but also took an advantage of the area which was considered
‘low cost land’ and upgraded it to a most desired real-estate in the
area.
The building includes some 55 apartments on top of a commercial floor
and has sports facilities, sauna, sun balcony and underground parking lots
that were dug in sophisticated methods dealing with new engineering
technologies for watery -sandy land. |

| The building raises over an inner open
garden, and reflects a double meaning idea: inward- a patio with a simple
elevation and outward- a gentle elevation which wraps the building with
lacy balconies. |
