One floor house for a family of four. The design challenges once again the aesthetics, simplicity and directness of bare materials and bare intentions, questioning scale and proportion relatively to the street without losing the sense of space and optimum use of daylight and views of the garden and landscape from the inside.

In the 21st century, smart thermostats are offering households more control over their heating system than ever before. But what exactly are the advantages of a smart thermostat (aside from the one we just mentioned)?
A zipper and buckle factory in a South Tel Aviv location, which is transforming into an Arts and Crafts haven, was converted into an exhibition space and Artist’s Studio.
