xelrod Architects, led by Principal Irit Axelrod,
recently transformed a single-family house in Tel
Aviv to reflect the homeowners’ love of serenity
and sleek modern design, and the firm’s vision of modern
residential architecture.
The firm provided architectural design and interior design
services for this 510 sq m / 5500 sq ft residence, consisting
of two levels plus a basement, on a landscaped lot size: 710
sq m / 7600 sq ft.
The new homeowners wanted to remodel an existing 1980’s
house to reflect their indoor-outdoor lifestyle. Their family
life is now centered around a lush landscaped courtyard just
outside their living-dining space.
Axelrod Architects organized the house around a new ‘Black
Core’, a glossy, black glass elevator that connects the living
spaces below to the private sleeping spaces above.
