An apartment building with a courtyard that welcomes light and air on all levels, with a communal social space at its heart.The building’s focal area is its red courtyard that together with the curvaceous continuous balconies provide a meeting and gathering space for residents. The facade is minimal in an off white color- typical of local Tel Aviv architecture, while playful color contrast between inside and outside emphasizes public and private space. The organic shaped balconies contrast the symmetrical exterior facade, creating a clear distinction between street and shelter.
