Pelleg Architects was established at the beginning of the 1980s by architects Ben Pelleg, Tzafrir Ganani and Eli Brustovsky. Their best known building is the Sea Observatory in Eilat, which has since become a landmark on the South Beach. During the last twenty years the office has planned prominent buildings, among them: the Motorola and Ackerstein buildings in Herzliya, Tadiran building in Petah Tikvah, the Government building in Tel-Aviv.

Perhaps the most interesting section of the offices resume concerns about thirty Israel embassies that were planned, extended or renewed throughout the world. This experience has allowed the architects to experiment with a variety of combinations concerning strict security code, the informal Israeli lifestyle, and changing local contexts.

Israel Embassy, Beijing

Modern Beijing, and particularly the new diplomatic section at the center of the city, is an architectural assemblage which consists of any building style apart from Chinese. Arranged in a horseshoe plan, the Embassy structure encompasses an inner courtyard: on one side of it - a residential tower,

and on the other - an egg-like conference hall.

Covered with white Chinese granite, the building stands out in its environment.

Israel Embassy, Tokyo

The earthquakes that hit Tokyo in the 1990s were an opportune pretext to renew the Embassy building, adding the Ambassadors residence to it.

Located among a collection of cubic structures in the heart of the city, the Embassy was designed as  'a negative to the environment', with the Embassy and the Ambassadors residence sharing a common courtyard.

Israel Embassy, Yangon, Myanmar (Burma).

A typically tropical country, Myanmar is characterized by extreme climate: a hot, rainy season, and a cool, dry one. In such conditions drainage systems are often clogged, and typical mildew sticks to the buildings, which are usually covered in stucco or ceramic tiles.

Made of two sections, the Embassy complex also contains the staff residences at the back. An umbrella-like wide concrete roof protects the building from the rains, and a thick insulation layer is aimed at preventing condensation. Interiors are embellished with Burmese Teak wood and local artcrafts.
