Oded & Elizabeth Tal Architects completed an impressive contemporary residence in Tel Aviv, Israel. Here is the information we received from the project developers: “The house was built on a beautifully sloping site, on a hilltop overlooking the Mediterranean Sea, in a suburb north of Tel Aviv, Israel. In order to give all spaces within the house views to the sea, the house was built along the length of the road at the top of the site, leaving the western half of the site for the pool and garden areas. Glass walls open the rooms of the ground floor to the outdoor living space, which is elemental to living in a climate with nine months of summer. A built-in hot tub and full outdoor kitchen facilities make entertaining around the pool a year round pleasure. The house is comfortably modern, built with highly insulated walls and double glazed windows to protect from days of extreme heat. The roof is finished with grey zinc paneling. The exterior is punctuated by pillars of volcanic stone from the Galilee Sea area which support the exposed wood roof structure and pergola painted in creamy white. Interior furnishings were imported from Italy for a clean contemporary look to complement the sculptural glass and steel stairway to the gallery above the salon. Within the house are five en-suite bedrooms plus a master suite on the top floor within the sloping roof. In the basement are a home cinema, spa and staff quarters to assure personal pampering”.

Designed as a multi-residential building, the Avenue showcases a splendid solution to constructing a home that does not fit the usual typology of a suburban residence displaying a garage at the entrance. : “As a rejection of this prevailing model the project sought to sensitively provide a high quality infill development as a modest and discreet intervention to the streetscape. The key element in the development of the concept is the rammed earth wall, which serves at once as a party wall and boundary identifier, and as an anchor grounding the dwellings and holding them in the landscape. One of our primary aims was the development of a sensitive typology for urban consolidation in what is an established outer suburban fringe setting. The lack of defining boundary elements along the street preserves the original landscape features and serves to unify the streetscape appearance and reinforce the prevailing neighbourhood character.” Located in a residential suburb of Melbourne, Australia, named Blackburn, the Avenue was designed by Neil Architecture, who explained the inspiration and construction of the house.
