ARCHITECTURAL MASTERPIECE 1من اصل2

WITH MODER ARCHITECTURAL VALUES
The apartment was designed to integrate with the architectural language and
characteristics of other projects by the architectural firm and thus, using
modern architectural values, it combines modern elements by using
materials in their raw form: exposed concrete wall, iron stairs and furniture,
a terrazzo floor, poured on-site and unpainted wood .
The space created by the new stairwell, divides the movement and the axis
of the existing space in a way that creates a dramatic architectural cross
section through the apartment, links the different levels and allows natural
light to penetrate the building through glass skylights inserted into the roof
of the upper floor. The new cross section creates a double space with
transparent glass and a system of moveable wooden slats that makes it
possible to create a view between the spaces or to allow privacy and natural
light control.
The restraint and scale of the apartment design avoiding the use of
gimmicks make it into a “timeless architecture”.
The raw materials and the attempt to create an architecture that was both
unfashionable and timeless is complemented by the books and pieces of art
hung throughout the apartment including works by the artist Guy Yanai.
Despite the fact that the apartments has a small area, the spaces feel large
and spacious. The wide and open views out to the scenery. The border
between the interior spaces and the balconies is almost totally blurred by a
thin glass panel system. The use of the same flooring, purred terrazzo, both
inside and outside also contributes to this feeling of continuity.
