flat of the season

duplex roof apartment

in tel aviv

Architect Gabrielle Toledano was born in Buenos Aires, studied at Ecole

Spéciale d’Architecture in Paris, doing her fourth year as an exchange

student at Bezalel. After graduating she worked on a housing project at

Pietri architects, focused on retail at SO-AN (Zadig & Voltaire), on the

development of a multi-program 800,000 Sqm. complex on Riverside-

Manhattan at Atelier Christian de Portzamparc, on landscape design at

Estudio Joselevich, on offices at LAN as well as housing and competitions

at Efrat-Kowalsky’s office.

Gabrielle was assistant teacher

to Matteo Cainer at L’Ecole

Spéciale d’Architecture in Paris,

then designed several apartment

renovations.

In 2013 she moved to Tel Aviv, and

set up her own practice.

The duplex apartment exhibited

here is her first project in Israel.

The concept is primarily based

on a sculptured staircase that

horizontally separates the children

and parents’ rooms, and vertically

– the fifth and sixth floors, where

the kitchen and dining room open

onto roof terraces, and the design

concept is based on “honoring”

plants.
