建筑

The Building

这座建筑位于贾法市，附近有许多阿拉伯风格的旧房子。贾法的这一地区正处于快速的城市重建过程中。我们相信，这是一个伟大的机会和荣誉，我们参加这一迷人的城市转型。

作为这座建筑的建筑师，我们认为必须保持现有当地城市环境的特殊氛围，同时引入一种现代设计，使用这一特定地区的新材料。

As the architects of the building we felt it was important to keep the special atmosphere of the existing local urban environment, while introducing simultaneously a modern design, using materials that are new for this particular area.

这栋建筑有2个住宅部分，有8套公寓(每套都有不同的大小和规模，专为不同的人口而设计)。在大楼的中间有一些空间，租户可以在那里相遇和交融，旁边是一个开放的区域，供流通和气流之用。

The building has 2 residential parts with 8 apartments (each one in a different size and scale – designed for a diverse population). In the middle of the building are spaces where the tenants can meet and mingle, next to an open area intended for circulation and air currents.

主要的外观元素是“Mashrabiya”，这是典型的阿拉伯传统概念，是为了提供遮阳，空气，光线，以及内部和外部之间的一个温和的缓冲。该计划的主要目标之一是设计一个“Mashrabiya”，以保持典型的街道外观的连续性，同时保持居民的隐私。虽然“Mashrabiya”是用混凝土或粘土建造的传统建筑，但我们用水平钢梁和穿孔金属填充材料设计了“Mashrabiya”钢。我们决定使用钢，这不是显而易见的选择，因为它代表了历史和当代建筑之间的对话。

The main façade element is the “Mashrabiya” which is typical traditional Arabic concept that was made to provide shade, air, light, and a gentle buffer between interior and exterior. One of the main goals of the plan was to design a “Mashrabiya” that preserves the typical street facades continuity whilst maintaining the privacy of the residents. While “Mashrabiya” is traditional built of concrete or clay, we designed a “steel Mashrabiya” from horizontal steel beams and fillings of perforated metal. We decided to use steel, which is not the obvious choice, because it represents the dialog between the historical and contemporary architecture.

桃色公寓

The Apartment

这套公寓位于贾法，附近有许多古老的阿拉伯风格的房屋，正在经历快速的城市改造。包含这间公寓的建筑就是这个迷人过程的一部分。

The apartment is located in Jaffa in the part of a neighborhood with many old eclectic Arabic style houses that is experiencing a rapid urban renewal. The building that contains this apartment is part of this fascinating process.

高天花板(5米高)是典型的传统住宅在该地区，并保留作为主要的建筑原则的新设计。

The high ceiling (5 meters high) is typical of the traditional housing in the area and was retained as the main architectonic principle of the new design.

在业主的要求下，室内设计的基本前提是收藏艺术作品：高空如也的墙壁被用作展示艺术的自然场所，混凝土地板和天花板以及白色墙壁提供了完美的背景。因此，公寓中的所有结构都可以作为艺术展示-甚至是混凝土地板。在混凝土地板的各个部分都有印模，可用于展示艺术作品，可不时被其他作品所取代。

At the request of the owner, the interior was designed with the basic premise to house the art collection in his possession: High empty walls were used as a natural place for the art to be displayed, the concrete floor and ceiling and the white walls providing all together the prefect background. Thus, all the structure in the apartment can be used as art display- even the concrete floor. There are molds imprinted in various parts of the concrete floor which can be used for displaying works of art which can be replaced by other works from time to time

室内设计的主要原则之一是创造一个狭长的空间，尽量减少空间，让观众有足够的空间来审视艺术作品。一个用混凝土铺成的小后院入口，四周环绕着高高的墙壁，在普希金街外面，与室内宁静、宁静的艺术环境形成了鲜明的对比。

One of the main interior design principle was to create one long space with minimal number of divisions, giving the viewer ample room to survey the work of art.  A small backyard entrance paved with concrete surrounded with high walls provides a marked contrast between Pushkin Street outside, and the quite, serene privacy of the art milieu inside.
