During the1948 war most of the original arab inhabitants of Jaffa fled and over the years this part of the neighborhood was gradually demolished. This resulted in a vacant site, divided according to the original parcellation with new town plans emphasizing traditional architectural characters, such as building on plot lines and the use of local elements and objects. This situation left the planning process with no immediate context and consequently gave the issue of the reference to the local Jaffa surroundings a broad perspective.

The landscape of the area is fairly flat and anonymous with no special focal points. Planning in a vast, seemingly endless landscape, a rare situation in the densely populated center of Israel. Our design focused on the relationship between the house and the landscape, defining its space, while at the same time blurring the borders between the house and its surroundings.
