asked the master his student. "I look at the vastness of the sky master" The house is inserted in a series of row houses, not far from the university area in Tel Aviv. It is a pedestrian oasis composed of attached houses, only one story high, and filled with green areas. The building restrictions for that specific zone permit utmost a height of 4.5 mt for the façade and 6.5 mt for the roof top. The idea of this residential volume situated between two walls and two strips of green is to design the space with the natural light, excluding any full-height subdivision or typological hierarchy; only by inserting two voids that trace the movements of the inhabitants. Two shifted rectangular cutouts of light: the first, located in the center of the volume directs the light from the roof level to the ground level, which is lifted 90 cm above the pathway (kitchen, dining, living area). The second, located on the external border between the house, the pool and the garden, consents the creation of a second naturally illuminated court, on underground level. Once entering the house, one perceives the visual depth between the different levels and micro gardens of Sambucus on ground floor. The suspended passage (bridge) that leads to the night area on the first floor is a diaphragm made of metal net grid only 2 cm thick that assumes the value of a lightweight veil that refines the zenithal light while extending the silhouettes of who walks through it, "in order to see nothing but the sky".

These volumes were positioned additively on the site between the house's exterior and interior to create interconnecting rooms of similar proportions. This model of connected rooms - something also to be found in such vernacular architecture as that of farmhouses in Puglia, rural Catalan farms, and the three-part plan of houses in Jaffa - permits a permeable flow between the activities of the inhabitants of the house and their social life. The main entrance from the roadside garden, placed diagonally with respect to the front door, screens the activities inside the house. The whole length of the lot can be seen from the front door of the tallest volume. Possible paths to be followed are indicated by the wide thresholds between the two internal walls, placed face-to-face just beyond the entrance. The volume which contains the kitchen and the family room overlooking the deep garden also has a view of the internal patio located in front of it as well as of the two private rooms in the night zone. The library, the last room in the living area, acts as the crossing point for arriving in the parents' private apartment. The central volume is the gallery which contains the family's private collection of pictures and is also the point of intersection for all movement within the house. It is here that the movement of people inside the buildings is punctuated by observation points between the objects, collections, and internal trees.

It is a luxury "gated community" consisting of villas surrounded by parks and gardens and is no more than 18 minutes from Tel Aviv and the Ben Gurion airport. So, although appreciated for its natural surroundings, it has easy access to the country's various infrastructures and road links. The house we designed is based on the letter "lamed" (ל), and consists of two vertical marks pointing in opposite directions and connected together by a horizontal line. The house is thus constructed from two long narrow parallelepipeds with different orientations connected by a two-storied volume relating the two parts of the site. It stands in a secret and hidden corner of the neighbourhood, protected by a roof of impenetrable greenery. The house is hidden from the road both because of its position and, above all, because of the diagonal movement of the path. From the road you can only see a blank façade, the main entrance, and a vertical slash that reveals a part of the house's internal patio. The higher central volume, placed at the heart of the site, is distant from the road and has a full view of the garden. And so, privacy is maintained by taking into consideration the use of the volumes and the way of life of those who live in them. Two main criteria lie behind the subdivision of the space: the generation and age of those living there, and its nature and vegetation. These are the underlying inspiration for the children's quarters, the parents' attic, the domestic areas connected to the greenery and the swimming pool, the apartments for guests and personnel, and the cinema built at a lower level and overlooking an internal courtyard. Our aim was to make the house appear absent from the site so that it can be seen only through views that are more elusive than revealing, and be glimpsed rather than observed. This wish to reduce the volumetric mass and offer the place its fullest expression is evident inside the house. In fact, once having crossed the threshold, our attention is held by the patio which acts as a corner between the children's quarters lower down and the two-storied central block. This is edged by a narrow passageway which both increases luminosity and mitigates the stratification of the horizontal and vertical circuits in this area, the centre of attraction for the house. If the patio is observed or crossed from various directions it acts as an element pointing forward from the living room to the entrance. Although not located in a central position it is a nucleus that highlights the space and, at the same time, makes details and stratified planes visible through very long views. In this way necessary and unexpected moments of perceptual incorrectness are created, reminiscent of the deformed and unreal perspective systems of medieval art. The three ground floor volumes accommodate various lifestyles. The functionally and temporally independent children's night zone, the living room, the domestic spaces, and the entrance, are all visually linked even though quite distant from each other. Social life and private life are all an integral part of the spatial organization of the house.

It rises from the rocky slopes of Lavon, a branching edifice that emerges from the rough hillocks of the land embracing the valley as far as the sea, and takes in the surrounding panorama. These views, which establish a system of relationships with the house, were selected to incorporate all the possibilities offered by the promontory in order to create an intense territorial whole - a biomass, even visible from a satellite, covering the slope itself and consisting of jagged brick-coloured cascades of rock and naturally created spaces. Further down, the land is organized into cultivated fields, their colours and layout marked by the ecosystem of crops. A distant and vague strip can also be glimpsed; the coast, which from the house seems a distant sandy fragment, and the sky above the Mediterranean horizon. The first move is to climb the monolithic block excavated from this raw land. Sited on a slope, it hides the innermost structure of the house which consists of four volumes. They cannot be appreciated by the eye because they are scattered among this intact piece of nature. Once the monolithic block has been passed, our ascent is accompanied by a weak and diffused light which hardly allows us to see the 5.60 metres height of the building. The entrance, which leads into the domestic area of the house, is a kind of cavern. It is "a place deeply set inside things", protected from the area's blinding light and can only be seen once inside, at the level of the kitchen. The interaction between the parts of this branch of the domestic area - located near to the reception, dining, and living areas and the other family spaces - results from the folding of the floor/earth and the ceiling/sky. These manipulations of visual possibilities cover all the various orientations and landscape-views. A walk through the inside of the house is accompanied by a continual superimposition of the tiny events offered by the site: a rock, a tree, an infinite view of stones thrust up towards the sky, endless views of the land. The relationships between such events and the domestic areas have been embodied in the sinuous, uninterrupted walls which "naturally" avoid right angles. The geometrical mutations correspond to those of the dwelling to create a great spatial variety of niches and figures that expand into the landscape. The house is a continuum with the variations of the site and changes with the changes of the seasons, like the surrounding rocks.

The place, originally used as a horse stable situated right on the edge of the property, is surrounded by a high red-brick perimeter wall with, at its centre, a little caretaker’s cottage that looks out onto a wild, lush garden. The site immediately gave us the idea of a secret, abandoned garden in the exclusive area between the heart of the city and the sea. The idea for our project took shape around the dominant theme of maintaining, as far as possible, the plot as it is with its naturally wild terrain, ensconced in its exuberant vegetation, yet none the less repositioning it within a segmented scenography consisting in a non-linear volume which we incised and “folded” within two new gardens and a little patio. The construction is therefore an oblong spatial combination along the western flank, containing the entrance, facilities, kitchen and dining room, and along the eastern flank, containing the more recondite private apartments for the parents (with a little private patio and covered pool) and the children. The transparent, open “heart”, however, which is between the northern and southern gardens, is the locus where public and private come together, the space where the household’s socialising will take place and an area for transiting between trees and the pool. The independent trapezoidal surfaces of the roof differ from one another according to their orientation, and can be evinced thanks to the intensity of light and the living functions of the house. The geometrical positioning of these elements is given by the structural programme and the desire to keep the interiors pure, thus enhancing the tectonic force of the space. The relationship between the full walls and the sequential sectioning of the ceiling creates a variable rhythm deriving from the different functions and intimacy of the interiors, based on the chiaroscuro contrasts of the white cement. The trapezoidal full-length windows giving on to the gardens and the oblique planes of the roof (also in white cement) also define, outside the habitation, a spatial and structural unity made up of unexpected signs. The perceptive experience investigated here is part of that chapter dedicated to inclined planes (as the third spatial possibility) that has allowed us to model another topography for the site; visibility is therefore not circumscribed only by the set of visible spaces, and the discarded spatial elements which derive from the oblique elements suggest inexhaustible depth. The thresholds and passages between the different areas therefore give rise to constantly different visual sequences between the “interior” and the “exterior” and the natural material of the place itself.

Its stretches are seldom continuous, but appear as a mélange of clearings and wooded areas where the movement of light plays among the green of the landscape. The Villa A. project, therefore, is founded on the idea of contextualizing the architectural structure in an entirely natural way within a location where the naturalistic landscape prevails. For this reason our approach to composition is based on two principles of space. The first is to make use of the specific topographical conditions, characterized by a 6-meter fall, by pushing the volumes, set on the highest ground of the lot (elevation 116), towards the land. As a result, a visual effect is created where the surrounding nature cancels out the constructed form. The strategy of lowering the ground line on the high hill area allows us to camouflage the house, creating a mimetic effect. In fact, the structure of the house is practically invisible from Rue Picasso. The second principle is to create single, independent volumes - each one with its specific function. These are then set on the edge of the rocky landscape, articulated through a controlled, yet softly descending, rhythm of masses (east-west axis). The center of the lot, rich with vegetation, remains then intact and unchanged. The project is made up of three volumes corresponding to the three main functions of the living space: kitchen-dining room volume, living-room volume and bedroom volume. Each one with a different height, following the conceptual strategy outlined above. The relationship between nature and architecture creates an open and airy view along the east- west axis that looks out onto the surrounding woodlands. In contrast, the north-south axis is more intimate and protected. The house opens up completely towards the lot’s interior. To guarantee privacy with respect to the nearby buildings, the continuous span of windows heightens the effect of the south-facing volumes used for daytime functions.

They represent a radical departure from the conventional models of a living room, dining room and kitchen. Instead they experiment with spatial typologies inhabited by various generations with differing social lives. Such spaces must have a different functional flexibility promoting distance and privacy while maintaining the social cohesion of those living in a single home. The house is near to Herzliya beach, a place where families and friends go to relax. It is a group of apartments arranged following independent pathways according to the various functions and activities taking place in the building. The plan traced out on the site is L-shaped and joins together two properties consisting of two independent volumes. The main block is characterized by the west-facing private apartments as well as by the terraces which are on the second floor in order to have a wider view than the crowded buildings built around them would otherwise permit. To the east, where the entrance is located, the house has been treated as a single-storied building. The main-garden side with its view toward the sea is, instead, broken up into various volumes. The ground floor on this side is built entirely out of transparent glass and acts as an invisible base for the opacity of the reglit covering the first floor. This volume gives the effect of a suspended membrane with transparent colours which change in intensity with the alterations of the light of day and of the evening. The ground floor consists of four folded parts: the innermost one follows the line of the long swimming pool and is where the family and their friends relax together; it is separated from the dining and kitchen zone by a trapezoidal courtyard. The most private area, the living room, which serves as a mediator between the two volumes, has been treated as a deep niche which visually enfolds the whole length of the site. And finally, the entrance is a more sloped volume which allows a telescopic view of the whole property. The second volume is separated from the main living area. It has been built as an underground space below the main garden and, because of the downward slope, faces the second garden in front of the road. The interior consists of two areas: the guests' living area and the gym with its "caldarium". These are two separate but connected areas. The "gravitas" of the transparent glass and the opacity of the reglit are underlined by the minimal visual weight of the structure. The perimeter wall of the western façade is connected only to the two structural walls, while the rectangular supporting columns are placed inside the wardrobe niches. Visually, the space seems suspended.

The place already has its own geometry created by a gradient rising some three metres. It has an ideal path; it is raised above the ground and visually seems to tower above the sea simply by following the perimeter of the site. This zigzagging forms the grammar of the project. In order to give the gradients a shape we redesigned the site with oblique planes connected linearly and following the axis of the orientation of the curves of the various levels. Then we inserted the volume of the house as though it were a further new tense line in the fabric of the territory. The roof is the key element for defining the fracture between the planes of the site and those of the house. From ground level these planes range from -0.30, spreading out in various directions, to +3.15 from where the sea can be seen. The roof defines both the space inside the house as well as the various slopes, even in cross-section. The continuation of the house's topography can even be appreciated from the inside; this is because the living room has a long window which visually connects the gardens at various levels as well as the two extremities of the lot. The site/block begins as an incision into the ground to carve out the service area and the garage, and then it slowly curves by gradations to arrive at the entrance/living room and then to re-emerge in the zigzagging of the blocks built on two levels overlooking the sea. The volumetric folds of these diagonal levels also reflect the climatic conditions of the area; the wind blows from the east and can be channelled to flow inside the volumes of the building and regulate its temperature in a natural way. So the ground floor is free of walls. Its everyday activities are undertaken in a unique space articulated by its topography and the plants. The vertical connecting elements consist of the external roof/ramp and the stairway between the walls of the night time areas. This also links the children's bedrooms to their parents' private area. This second floor consists of the night time zones and service areas. An internal patio acts as their intermediary; this is an open cut to the sky separating the domestic area of the apartment from the client's clinic/studio which has a separate entrance.
