Located in one of central Israel’s earliest communities, and sitting on a hilly 1000 m² plot, this home was created for a young family of 5. The planning came out of a fruitful dialogue with the residents who dreamed of a functional, clean, flowing space with a strong connection to the outdoors; one that matched their character and style of living

The goal was to create a home that felt light in perception, the strategy then was to design two main masses: A ground floor white box foundation, to the 2nd story aluminum enveloped “blocks” which it supports. These top story blocks were subdivided: One towering, metallic gray square, and a second larger block that was blanketed in silvery-white natural colored aluminum.

Aluminum was chosen for its minimalist connotations, and coating the top story only, emphasizes the lightness of structure and its differing masses. It also allows for an endless array of light and shadow play on its metallic surfaces.
