Housing for the Elderly

We were commissioned by Israel’s Ministry of Housing to design 115 affordable housing units for seniors along one of Jaffa’s main arteries.

• Alternative meeting places
• Lobbies in every floor
• A barrier-free building
• Central solar water heating
• Natural light and cross ventilation throughout
• Interior built-in planting in all floors

 In 2000 the American Institute of Architects selected it as one of the best projects built by AIA members overseas.
