The historic building in Rehavia, constructed in the 1930s, was meticulously restored, exposing its original structure after removing later additions, while incorporating new residential floors and rehabilitating its original courtyard. The design establishes a visual and functional dialogue between the original structure, resembling a ship with curved balconies, and modern additions. The courtyard was reopened to the public, featuring planters, steps, and benches that serve both passersby and residents. The new balconies are wrapped in metal mashrabiyas, blending light and shadow while reflecting the surrounding trees. The project seeks to preserve the values of the historic neighborhood while creating an innovative interface between old and new, private and public, contributing architectural value that impacts the entire urban landscape.
