Architecture
AR165
The residential building was specifically designed for our regular customers who purchased a plot in Israel. The architectural requirements of the country imposed certain restrictions on the structure, taking into consideration the climatic and landscape features. The plot is situated in the prestigious village of Kesaria on the Mediterranean coast, in close proximity to a golf field. Private houses in Israel typically exhibit a simple appearance, without elaborate facades or fences facing one another. In accordance with this tradition, the facade of the house adopts a minimalist style, which in turn gives rise to its own sculptural poetry.
ABOUT THE PROJECT
The white color of the facade is the first feature that shapes the overall image. The white color of the facade is the predominant feature that shapes the overall image. It evokes various associations such as an open book, sails, or the symbolism of a white seagull. These associations are inspired by the sculptural form of the facade, which consists of two angled blind planes.
This architectural technique serves both aesthetic and practical purposes - it helps maintain privacy and minimizes heat absorption, as the facade faces southeast.
INSPIRATION
The proportions, color, shape, and material used in the facade design all contribute to its transformation into a minimalist sculpture. As a result, a person walking past the facade becomes a living "frieze", allied to the illustrations of history found on the ancient Greek Parthenon.
PLANNING DECISION
Entering the house or exploring its backyard reveals a space for self-expression and the demonstration of opportunities and tastes in Israeli culture. The patio, acting as a serene courtyard, enhances the security of the property while allowing for a peaceful atmosphere. The full-size sliding facades effectively blur the boundaries between the indoors and outdoors.
