It is hard to think of a capital city that carries on its shoulders a heavier historical, spiritual, religious, symbolic and political burden than Jerusalem.

However, despite its complexity, the Israeli capital manages to enchant everyone who visits it and its surroundings thanks to its rich history, variety of ethnicities and cultures and of course the buildings many of which are of architectural importance.

In front of the old buildings, which were built in different periods, under different religious and colorful conceptions and different authorities, a new, cosmopolitan and even more diverse Jerusalem charm is slowly penetrating, which we often see inside the buildings.

The result: an up-to-date living environment that combines luxury with the Jerusalem charm, which has never been a miracle.

In a project designed by Shirley Dan for a couple in their 50s and their two children, in one of the rural communities in the Jerusalem area, the fusion style is evident, which combines an up-to-date adaptation to the Jerusalem style combined with rustic Tuscan elements and Mediterranean influences.

The area of ​​the house, built on a mountainside, overlooking the mountainous landscapes of the area, is about 250 square meters (divided into 3 floors) and is built over a plot of about 750 square meters.

It is bright and airy thanks to extremely high ceilings, an open bridge that connects the floors, the bright colors and the large openings that let in the mountainous Jerusalem landscape.

The walls are covered with bricks and the floor is paved with stone - in accordance with the building traditions that characterize Jerusalem.

Natural materials, with an emphasis on stone and wood.

The material palette consists almost entirely of natural materials with an emphasis on stone and wood.

And the result is a soul-filled home where ethnic influences stand out, like painted tiles incorporated in various places in the house as well as in the garden.

In the design of the house, Dan also referred to the Jerusalem climate - the one whose temperatures know how to drop down in the winter season, and sometimes, if there is luck, even gets pure snowflakes.

Due to this, Dan made sure to use insulating materials such as thermal plaster, fireplaces (indoor and outdoor) and underfloor heating.

Another impressive feature is the large front door that leads to a wide foyer in the center of which is planted an ancient olive tree that is faithful to the local vegetation.
