House in Ramat Gan
This project is an urban oasis that combines indoor and outdoor living, within a diverse landscape.
In this inner-city home, we sought to defy the boundaries of the urban context, utilizing the landscape at every opportunity to foster a sense of privacy, seclusion, and comfort for our customers.
At every point on the site, the vegetation interacts with the house – climbers, ground covers slope over walls, dense foliage of trees smooths the architectural lines, blurring
the connection between interior and exterior areas. Integrated seating invites one to relax amidst the greenery, under the filtered sunlight.
A central yard brings a feeling of calmness and relaxation. The vegetation flows to the lower level and invites residents to immerse themselves in the landscape. An evergreen Ash grows tall,
its canopy at the height of the upper living areas creates a backdrop of greenery. Layers of landscape unfold around the house, and reach a climax in a peaceful and private garden of the study on the upper floor, over the roof.
