Textual content description supplied by the architects. The home sits on a novel lot within the middle of Israel. It’s 1,946 sqm in dimension lot and appears as much as a wide-open view of shallow hills and agriculture fields. This uncommon state of affairs and nature within the harm of Israel gave us the principle inspiration for creating this home. It’s a one-floor home for a household of 4. Reaching the home from the road provides the guests and members of the family a glimpse of the view they’re about to be uncovered to when getting into the principle entrance corridor. It’s a journey one does from the road by way of a path planted with bushes alongside the way in which into the doorway out of doors area. Making a steady and quiet stroll into the home by way of the enclosed entrance backyard, permitting time to enter and alter to the peaceable oasis of what’s about to return.

The doorway out of doors area is roofed by an prolonged roof making a patio and a really intimate area on the entrance to the home. Coming into the doorway corridor indoor area, the wonderful view seems with its all magnificence. Framed by the huge opening and the road of the roof extending to the out of doors east patio. When planting the backyard, we took care very rigorously to create layers of panorama, shut and much, within the lot and out of it, an current row of cypress on the far view of shallow hills and new planting of bushes on the shut new backyard, giving depth of view from the home.



The doorway corridor is a degree of junction in an L form plan home. A junction between the general public and oldsters’ space of the home on the south, and the youngsters’ bedrooms, household area, and research on the north. From this junction, one can see each views to the east, in addition to the focal inexperienced view on the far south window of the kitchen and the view to the far window of the research on the north wing. To the correct of the doorway corridor, is the general public area multi functional quadrangle form, lined with a 2-sided slope ceiling constituted of gentle oak veneer.


The roof slope continues to the outside and creates an outside shaded space to the east. Permitting the tenants of the home full use of this out of doors space for eating and resting, shielded from the solar and rain for nearly each hour of the day. On this essential area, the framing of the view is wider.

Each roof design and floor remedy serve our objective to mix the home within the lovely environment he sits in.


From the general public area, one reaches the master suite. The master suite has a one-sided slope ceiling which as nicely continues to the outside and creates a smaller cozy out of doors space. Again to the doorway corridor from which we will attain the north wing of the home. The school room will be completely open with a wood door that’s a part of the library or closed when one wants extra privateness. Alongside this wing, sit the kids’s bedrooms and the household room. The household room sits on each the north out of doors path and the principle out of doors public area on the south. In that means, all public areas of the home, dwelling, eating, kitchen on one aspect, and household room on the opposite are related by this lengthy out of doors shaded public space. The north wing leads out to the pool home that’s indifferent from the principle one and faces the pool.

A linear define look of the façade is created by the straight metallic line of the lengthy roof edge and the lengthy base of the stone ground that floats 15 cm above floor degree. The ground continues easily from in to out, and the roof’s decrease degree that goes all the way down to 280 cm creates a comfy feeling and proportions of area on a human scale.

Supplies – The home is a mixture of three essential supplies:
1. Stone -the similar one for partitions and flooring in numerous sorts of end.

The roof of the house- This roof is each a practical and aesthetic factor of the home. Making an allowance for the necessity to create an enormous shading space to the east, south, and west permitting the tenants of the home a full use of the out of doors area alongside the times and alongside all seasons of the yr, a safety from the recent Israeli solar. With this roof projection of three meters out from the interior partitions, we achieved each shading out of doors areas in addition to cooling the interior areas. It’s a very shallow slope metallic roof from the surface and a light-weight oak veneer from the within that was impressed by the shallow hills the home faces.

The folding roof inside and outside plus creating 3 patios in it, allowed us to plant bushes inside, creating the sensation that the home is one other hill in nature. From inside, the sunshine oak veneer folded like origami out to the hill shallow line within the far panorama. A ten mm metallic sheet in an angle finishes the body of the patio, attaining a slim sculptured edge that takes the water out from the roof to the backyard beneath and creates an countless view of the sky and to the treetops. The bushes in entrance, contained in the patios, and behind this folded aluminum roof, mix it and the entire home in its atmosphere.
The home is an echo of the character it faces!!
