Living in Israel, feeling in the thousands: when the view enters the house - voila! Home & Design

Highlights: The landscape is often the soul, the main actor and the highlight of the house. The house is built on a hillside in the Carmel area and blends harmoniously into its surroundings. A pool at the level of the living room and kitchen that seems to hang and float in the air and overlooks the spectacular and open view of the valley. An element was designed that is faithful to their approach, which advocates the creation of spaces that are not revealed at once but in stages –'much that is hidden from the visible'


How do you combine classical Europe with classical Israel? We examined four projects that neutralize the feeling that we live in the Middle East

How many times have you walked into a house and the first call was, "Wow, what view? Yes, it certainly happened to you, whether visiting a hotel on a mountain range, in the middle of a ski trip in the Alps, in a romantic bed and breakfast in the north and many more examples. Well, the landscape plays a very important role in the house. It is not for nothing that many architects take advantage of the landscape and bring it into the house, so much so that there is a blur between the interior and the outside.

What's more, the landscape is often the soul, the main actor and the highlight of the house. Architecture and design are no less important, because through them the landscape will enter intelligently. We have chosen for you a number of houses where the view is breathtaking and the architecture blends into it.

Maximum hosting space: Israelwitz Architects

Israelwitz Architects/Assaf Pinchuk

That's what we call the living experience! The unique house in the Carmel area, designed by Dan and Hila Israelwitz Architects, is crowned as innovative, groundbreaking and unique and for good reason. This is a house that provides its residents with a different living experience than the one we know now. The house is built on a hillside in the Carmel area and blends harmoniously into its surroundings.

This is a complex architectural project for several reasons: the first of which is the complex topography of the plot and the position of the building that relates to and sits on a steep slope. In the satellite image, the house stretches along a large area of the slope, but when viewed from the front, it blends in with the landscapes of the area. From the street façade it looks like a minimalist one-story building and in fact it is developing in relation to topography. Upon entering the lot, you begin to descend along the side of the building towards the entrance floor, which serves as the mezzanine. From there it rises to the parents' level and another rise to the children's rooms. From the mezzanine floor down to the garage level and more.

Modern family home in a wild grove - Architecture Dan and Hila Israelwitz / Assaf Pinchuk

The couple hosts a lot, so it was important to create a hosting space for them that would allow full interaction between all the participants. To this end, Israelwitz Architects designed a pool at the level of the living room and kitchen that seems to hang and float in the air and overlooks the spectacular and open view of the valley. In the entrance compound, an element was designed that is faithful to their approach, which advocates the creation of spaces that are not revealed at once but in stages – 'much that is hidden from the visible': between the main façade and the entrance door is a lace wall built of steel pillars and horizontal rectangular blocks made of concrete – the airy wall creates a delay between the façade that is visible to the surroundings and the private space that allows the family intimacy.

Here is my home: Yinon Ben David

Architecture, Planning and Design Yinon Ben David/Shai Epstein

An hour, maybe two hours from the center, you reach the Golan Heights, and sometimes it seems that we have arrived in another country. Due to the special topography, among the mountains and streams, the architecture in the area is also different from the other in the center of the country, and therefore its emphases are different and special. So is the house that Yinon Ben David planned and built for his family in Moshav Natur.

Yinon Ben David draws his inspirations for the design of the houses from his childhood and adulthood in the Golan Heights, in the wild nature, huge stones, large waterfalls and the precise landscapes of northern Israel. Ben David gives respect to the environment and the area in which he plans and this is the first thing he emphasizes. The houses are all based on the same principles. Connection to region and style. His personal home is first and foremost connected to nature and the land around him. It is a house that maintains a uniform language, a house that gives a great deal of respect to the landscape, a house that envelops the members of its household.

The house covers an area of 175 square meters built. A magical house with a modest look and a warm Nordic style, whose wooden facades complete the desired look. A bit like "Little House on the Prairie". A home is precise in terms of the functions it fulfills and in terms of the homely and warm feeling, which really connects us to nature, with the use of as many materials from nature as possible and delicate colors, with the landscape as mentioned being the main focus.

Jaffa at night: Zvia Kazioff

Design by Zvia Kioff / Amit Gosher

Penthouse, 190 sqm, two-story apartment located in Jaffa's Ajami neighborhood, overlooking the sea. The apartment is diverse in its colorful inspiration, taking inspiration from the picturesque neighborhood that surrounds it. The kitchen tones create a harmony of yin and yang between the cold grays and the warm golden tones. Inspired by the beach and the shades of golden sand, and combined with the light fixture built of brass hoops, a wall was installed covered with bright gold stripes that enter the guest bathroom and create a delicate separation between the classic stone tiles, and the Zelige tiles imported from Morocco by hand, until the integration of Eastern and Western cultures and the creation of an eclectic space between classical Europe and Ajami Israel.

The golden shades are like rays of sun that penetrate the apartment as a narrative that repeats itself in every corner of the house while moving the range between the combinations and weaving a carpet that creates a correct and beautiful fabric between the landscape, the nature of the environment and the fabric of the couple's life.

The House in Matat: Design and Developers - Kobi Khalifa, Artpro

Developers of Artpro/Albert Adut

The couple came for a vacation, fell in love and decided to move permanently from the urban city in the Sharon to the far and pastoral north. They purchased a plot of land in Matat, a community in the Upper Galilee, and decided to build their dream home on it. At first they thought that the house would serve them as a vacation home, but slowly they fell in love with the place and decided that it would serve them as a permanent home. Beit Matat is located on a mountain ridge, with a spectacular and powerful view.

Kobi Khalifa, chief designer of Artpro, which specializes in iron art and iron developers and also a close friend of the couple, enlisted in the design task. With enormous iron openings, he blurred a suit between the inside and the outside, and brought the full spectacular view into the house (in collaboration with the performer Roni Kaplan). Parquet was chosen for the house that provides a warm look, and additional iron products from Artpro were incorporated, lighting poles, bathroom cabinets, a buffet console for the living room and more. The result - a house that is all soul.
