Text: Lior Galili. The new Health Clinic building in Nof-Yam is a two-story public facility built for Clalit, the main national health services provider in Israel. Located between the sea and a major highway, the building forms a moment of stability. Nimrod Levi The ground floor, which serves both the reception area and the parking lot, establishes the balanced nature of the building. Half sustained by columns, half by concrete walls, it presents the visitors with a dialectic of shadow and light and of lightness and stability. In a more subtle manner, the three pairs of columns—each comprised of a thin circular column followed by an elongated, massive, (yet playful), vertical support—imply an interplay between fixed and fl...

The ground floor is dedicated to the waiting areas, the secretary, medico-technic rooms, a meeting room, a pair of lavatories and two of the eight clinic boxes. On the upper level however are assigned the remaining six clinic boxes.  T... More

Once a derelict residential dwelling in the chic suburbs of South Delhi, This structure was conceived to be the most fitting by the architects for a one-of-a-kind men fertility chain that was looking to make its debut with a flagship clinic. The building had clocked over 40 years, nearly touching the red mark of its lifetime, theoretically.  The physical condition, however, was evaluated and found to be apt for a quick turnaround.  The translation of its planning from a residential dwelling to that of a clinic foresaw major structural challenges due to the walls being load-bearing and the absence of any RCC member in the structure. This was augmented by strengthening and retrofitting with structural steel, injection grouting, etc.... More

The project envisaged the reconstruction of the Soviet two-story office building as a home for the elderly, with the completion of the third floor. The plot is surrounded by a manor house, which borders the field and the cascade of ponds, which became a key factor in choosing a place for this function. The core of the first floor is the large lobby, which penetrates the building through and unites the public courtyard with a private chamber courtyard in the depths of the site. On the first floor there are three quadruple rooms, on the second floor there are 10 double rooms and on the third floor there are 11 single rooms. On each of the floors there are zones for both joint rest and spending time, and with places where you can retire. The... More

Nutri Bowl, specialised in cold-pressed juices, and Nutri Bowl, pioneer in healthy to-go meals, are joining forces in a new roll-out concept. Ninetynine was asked to develop a modular, scalable shop-in-shop concept which resulted in an inverted island bar which brings the customer – and not the staff – to the heart of the brand-controlled environment.   The design is based on a grid of 40x30x30 cm blocks. The size literally refers to the optimal 40/30/30 - protein/carbohydrates/fat - ratio provided by the power series of Nutri Bowl. The basic grid is projected onto the floor as a tiled surface, and is separated from the walls of the space. An L-shaped counter and a free-standing block that serves as a table are constructe... More
