The original historical building set for preservation was built in the 1930s in
Rehavia, Jerusalem. The building has two and a half floors set for
preservation upon which we added two and a half new floors.
Fine, custom-made, unique details both envelop and fill this building, creating
an exceptional standard and wonderful interior and exterior architecture and
design.
The historical facade was structurally supported and held up in the air while
we dug a parking lot beneath it. We chose to have the unique detail of the
historical balcony run around and along the perimeter of the building in its
middle, separating between the old facade and the new addition.
The main stairwell of the building is clad in travertine, both the floor and walls
– as well as the custom-made recessed travertine handrail, while the internal
railing is metalwork.
Inside the penthouse there is another staircase, rounded, to reduce space.
We used a circle to design an adjacent door that separates an office from a
family corner, between the circle and the frame, the door is filled in with glass
for acoustic privacy. The protrusion of the circle serves as a handle.
