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.

Rooted Home is a 2 story apartment for a family of 6. A root evolves under ground, and functions as an anchor. Roots are the organs of a plant that are modified to provide anchorage for the plant and take in water and nutrients into the plant body, which allows plants to grow taller and faster.

Geometric and technical constraints were key to the design language chosen for this Duplex apartment in Tel Aviv. Instead of concealing the AC and sprinklers , the decision was to expose them , and make them an integral part of the design.

In planning lodgings for physically disabled people, nothing is “standard” or obvious. Every detail, big or small, must be adapted to the residents’ needs and abilities. The state of Israel has accessibility regulations, but we believe that special adaptation is needed beyond those, for each and every resident’s maximum safety, comfort, and indepen...
