Designed by Lissoni Architettura with Tehila Shelef Architects, this villa reveals an austere design with a pronounced orthogonal geometry and at first sight appears as a pavilion floating on water. Purposely simplified, the L-shaped volumetry is inspired by modern architecture and is distinguished by walls with scaled-down openings to the outside and large windows towards the softer forms of the garden. The terrain was designed to accommodate the house, which is protected from the outside with concrete walls incorporating windows of an essential architectural design. The volumetry of the architecture is recomposed in a vision of total purity.

Villa V by Baranowitz Kronenberg Architects

This slideshow requires JavaScript.

Location: Tel Aviv, Israel

Year: 2016

Architects: Baranowitz Kronenberg Architects

Photography: Amit Geron

VILLA V. IS HOMAGE TO THE ‘WHITE CITY’ ARCHITECTURE OF TEL AVIV; SIMPLE MASSING AND A RICH PLAY OF SUN AND SHADE WHICH EMBRACES THE MEDITERRANEAN BREEZE.

IT IS A HOME RATHER THAN A HOUSE, A PLACE FOR LIVING WHERE MEMORIES ARE MADE AND LIFE IS CELEBRATED WITH FAMILY AND FRIENDS.

AN L SHAPE LAYOUT CONFIGURATION HOLDS MOST OF ITS SOCIAL PROGRAMS WHILE THE MASTER BEDROOM IS DESIGNED AS A HOME AWAY FROM HOME, CONNECTED BY A BRIDGE TO THE “MAIN-LAND”, SELF- SUSTAINED WITH ITS OWN GARDEN AND POOL.

THE LOWER LEVEL OF THE HOUSE FOLLOWS THE SAME L SHAPE AND HOLDS THE BEDROOM SUITES OF THE FAMILY MEMBERS WHO ENJOY AN INTIMATE INNER COURTYARD OPEN TO THE SKY. CROSSED OVER BY WHAT ONLY APPEARS AS A SPANNING MIRROR; THE OWNER’S BRIDGE BOTTOM IS IN POLISHED STAINLESS STEEL WHICH DILUTES COMPLETELY THE PRESENCE OF WEIGHT CROSSING THE COURTYARD, AND ADDS A FANTASTIC REALM OF IMAGERIES TO THE INTERIOR AND EXTERIOR SPACES.

U House by Ronnie Alroy Architects

This slideshow requires JavaScript.

Location: Tel Aviv, Israel

Area: 350 sqm

Year: 2016

Architects: Ronnie Alroy Architects

Architects in Charge: Ori Warshai

Office Team: Shani Sasson, Adi Bijaui, Liron Kadi

Photography © Amit Geron

The project is located in Tel Aviv, city that was declared by unesco in 2003 as world heritage since “The White City of Tel Aviv can be seen as an outstanding example in a large scale of the innovative town-planning ideas of the first part of the 20th century. The architecture is a synthetic representation of some of the most significant trends of Modern Movement in architecture”

The house with a background of the upcoming tall buildings seeks to remind the heritage of the white city.

The house is a one family urban house which reinvents the idea of the white cube with the ribbon window which is a significant feature of the 30’t and 40’s residential buildings in Tel Aviv.

In the 30’s the ribbon windows stood one above the other.

In the white 2016 cube the ribbon windows are allowed a flexible interaction with the interiors of the house and react to the surroundings

The ribbon windows are accentuated by a dark metal frame around them. In the main entrances the metal frames become a metal fold that defines the entrance and protects from the weather.

In the back courtyard the Metal fold becomes a canopy for shade.

The white cube sits on assembly of exposed concrete walls and planters that form a plastic landscaping that brings out the purity of the white cube.

The Interior of the house contracts with the white cube. It involves interplay of raw materials in juxtaposition to the purity of the cube.

In the center of the house is a cantilevered staircase of metal and wood that transforms itself on each floor: on the basement it becomes a desk and working area, on the ground floor it is a division between the living room and the kitchen.

Above the staircase there’s a skylight that brings in light and is a reminder of the white cube and therefore of the white city.

Visitors to the Old North of Tel Aviv would be surprised should they stumble upon a small neighborhood of low-lying family homes possessing just one or two storeys each. These are the remaining relics of Israel’s early urbanism when the English garden city motif populated many of her towns.

It incorporated a rural aesthetic of red-tiled roofs, low construction and spacious, generous gardens – some buildings were constructed by the Ministry of Housing and others were enthusiastically encouraged by it. Their first inhabitants were often new immigrants and many were soon purchased by elites who saw in them the promise of comfortable lives and peaceful surroundings within an ever-growing city.

In the march of time, some were abandoned, neglected, and then rediscovered and renewed. Dense cities developed rapidly and intensively around them causing a sharp desire for these oases of comfortable family homes. Some remained unaltered – modest homes through which waft the romantic scents of their history. Others have been adapted to reflect the modern tastes and desired proportions of their current owners.

Unique is the advent of contiguously built homes – built from the start as linked units with a continuous appearance. Siamese twins bound together by visual and constructive obligations. Their development requires consideration and adjustment. Their environment seeks to preserve their values – their culture and history.

At first glance the clean, bright facade of the —— home seems alien against the background of the neighborhood. Emphasizing its difference is the additional height of the home and its long, horizontal windows, hidden behind white iron lattice-work. These are in conversation, as it were, with the early international-style homes built in Tel Aviv, some of which displayed similar lattice-work that emulated freedom of form – rendered by indecipherable spatial division.

Viewing the home from the side reveals the preservation of the original slanted roof with its distinct romantic character. Now, however, the roof appears to be resting on the surrounding walls rendering its appearance so subtle it may even be missed. The end result of the side facade is an homage to the image of the “village home”.

A passage runs from the street straight through the entrance into the inner areas – exterior and interior – past and future – a home of modern proportions. The rear facade reveals a large, vitrine window unifying the home to the yard and pool. The passage through the storeys of inner rooms is formed by a floating bridge crossed by a staircase leading up to the roof. There the bleached wood eaves stand out against the wall thinly coated with black cement, as if acquainting the architectural motifs of new and old, identity and exactitude that permeate the structure. Hence – inside and outside – two worlds – two cultural tales are intertwined within the existence of the structure, permitting its existence, breathing into it completely new life.

Jaffa Apartment

A historic residence in Old Jaffa

The 180 square meter residential home is located in Old Jaffa. Its location is unique in that it is set above the harbor, facing west with all of its openings facing the majestic splendor of the Mediterranean Sea. Whilst it is difficult to determine the buildings exact age, it is clear that it is hundreds of years old.

Over the years, it has undergone many changes and had many additions made that have damaged the original quality of the building and its spaces.

The central idea was to restore the structure’s original, characteristics, the stone walls, the segmented ceilings and the arches including the exposure of the original materials (a combination of pottery and beach sand).The building has been cleaned of all of the extraneous elements, from newer wall coverings and has undergone a peeling process to expose its original state.

Surprisingly, modern, minimalistic construction styles remind us of and correspond with the ascetic style of the past, and this despite the vast time difference between them.

The central idea was to combine the old and the new whilst maintaining the qualities of each and to create new spaces that blend the styles together even intensify them because of the contrast and tension between the different periods.

The historical is expressed by preserving the textures and materials of the buildings outer shell and by respecting the building engineering accord.

The modern is expressed by the opening of spaces and by altering the internal flow to one more open and free environment along with the use of stainless steel, iron and Korean in the various partitions, in the openings and in the furniture.

The project succeeds in both honoring and preserving the historical and almost romantic values of the structure whilst creating a contemporary project, modern and suited to its period. Despite the time differences, the tensions and the dichotomy between the periods exist in a surprisingly balanced and harmonic space.
