. The Arie Bril house was built in different phases between the years of 1919-1923. The core of the building was designed by Engineer L. Feinstein and was one of the first houses in the historic "Craftsmen A" neighborhood. The evolution of the building is entwined with the development of Shenkin St. in Tel Aviv. The building was categorised for restoration and is located in Unesco's white city buffer zone.
The original two storey, roof-tiled building was designed in the Eclectic style. A new addition of two storeys on the original contour, one backset story, a roof story and a new wing at the back front of the building was built.
The challenge we encountered was combining a new addition, double the original building, to an historic building, in a way that will pay respect to the building and city's history, and will continue to tell their stories.
