150sqm House, Zefat
Photographs: Assaf Pinchuk
A residential private house for preservation that has been re-designed and planed anew in the old city of Safed. The house is an old stone building, built in the shape of the Hebrew letter “Chet”, surrounding and inner courtyard.
The planning concept included values of both preservation and renewal, while connecting between the inner and the outer and between the public and the private.
The house program includes a kitchen, salon and a dining corner on ground level. The cellar level contains storage place and a space for the landlords’ grandchildren to play in. The middle level contains a hosting unit + a toilet and a shower. In the upper level there is a sleeping and working area with attached bathroom and toilet. This space is made up of a bridge leading to the different two wings, which are also attached with balconies and outer spaces.
The upper level consists of a big balcony overlooking a magnificent view of the surroundings in general and Mount Meron in particular.
