READING THE SITE

Every project begins with understanding its place before defining its form. At Palmach 140, the design process started with a close reading of the site's topography, the rhythm of the surrounding neighborhood and the open views toward the Jerusalem hills. Rather than imposing a predefined architectural language, the proposal grows from its context, creating a contemporary residential building that belongs naturally to its environment
