two houses in yokneam moshava
The vast area, the open landscape, the agricultural context, the people. All of these inspired the initial concept of organic forms gently “grazing” the field.
Nimrod Levy
Accordingly, we folded the building envelope and softened the corners of the houses, allowing them to settle peacefully and calmly into the space.
Nimrod Levy
The initial concept matured into plans and then into a built project, now home to two wonderful families who live there happily.
Nimrod Levy
The two families share a pool and several communal amenities, while each house maintains its own private indoor-outdoor patio.
Nimrod Levy
The two houses are hidden from the street and positioned relatively low in relation to it. Both are spr... More

MAUI POOL EDGE
In contrast to the skimmer system, the trend towards overflowing pools as a spa/wellness imitation has gained momentum in recent years. In these pools the water overflows the edge and generates the effect of a continuous floor and pool, without cuts, a complete integration.
This style has always been more common in hotel and wellness centre projects but a few years ago it started to become fashionable in private homes, why not have the luxury of a hotel in your own home?
The swimming pool and its surroundings should be a space where safety and comfort are paramount. The surrounding floor must be non-slip and walkable barefoot or with wet feet, so both our pool coping edging and our ceramic drainage gratings have non-slip properties, which... More

Its versatility and easy attachment make it perfect for any pool, whether it is a new construction or a refurbishment, while its anti-slip characteristic makes it safe for the whole family, preventing possible slips.

STROMBOLI COLLECTION
The modern and smooth design of this stone is perfect for terraces with straight and architectural lines. The neutral tones and the soft texture of a natural stone make the Stromboli series very versatile and adaptable to all environments. It achieves a calm and luminous atmosphere, perfect for creating a space in which to disconnect.
The Stromboli collection is available in a wide variety of formats including the 60x120cm format in normal tile and 20 MM tile, very popular nowadays as its resistance is much greater and allows it to be laid outdoors, for example, as a pathway on terraces with grass.
It is available for indoors and outdoors, with Cerámica Mayor's characteristic anti-slip, with which the project will be completely ver... More
