1. Apartment in a Renovated
Building on Rothschild Boulevard,
Tel Aviv
The
concept is based on the reorganization of the apartment with two spinal
brick-finish walls, intersected by partition walls. While the brick walls hold
symbolic meaning, reminiscent of the bricked-up fortified entrances to Tel
Aviv buildings during
the War of Independence, the partition walls serve a more functional purpose.
The
cast-in-place floor tiles, floor-to-ceiling doors and partition walls that
penetrate the rooms grants the feeling of a flexible, continuous space, which
will enable future adaptation to the young familys changing needs.
Architects: Roy and Lital Fabian.
2. Ground Floor on Frug Street,
Tel Aviv
In
this small apartment the floor has been lowered to grant a feeling of
spaciousness. Here, a double-sided cupboard acts as a partition wall between
the three bedrooms and the living area.
The
curvilinear geometry of the partition wall makes it appear longer and the space
larger. The epoxy finish, cast-concrete floor and the glass partition which
allows a peek at the master bedroom, represent an achievement on a limited
renovation budget.
Architect: Yaniv
Pardo.
