The project, a condominium tower features 17.650sq m of residential areas on 18 floors that measures 116m in height. The building will house a range of residential layouts from one-bedroom to four-bedroom apartments as well as penthouses with double-height spaces on its top. A cave-like pool and spa area will occupy the base of the building, while community areas like a yoga-studio, a restaurant and shelter spaces are shared on the first two floors and cores.
"When I first walked through Tel Aviv, I was taken by the vividness on its streets and its shores. The rhythm of lively plazas, traditional context and modern architecture inspired me and had a deep impact on the design of the building,” said Chris Precht. Tel Aviv has a Mediterranean climate and enjoys plenty of sunshine throughout the year. It was clear from the beginning that the building shouldn't be a generic glass tower, but rather respond to its climatic challenges.
CHRIS PRECHT
Architect and Co-Founder, Studio Precht
Chris Precht is the co-founder of architectural studios Precht and Penda. After training at University of Innsbruck, Technical University of Vienna and teaching at the Institute of Experimental Architecture, he established Studio Penda in Beijing in 2013 with Fei Precht and Sun Dayong. In 2017 he and his wife Fei moved to the mountains of Salzburg to establish Studio Precht, where they now work on commissions for green architecture. Buildings by Studio Precht use natural materials with a low carbon footprint and are designed to give back space to nature and offer areas for gardening.
We like to think about those large outdoor zones as private yards in the sky with zones where residents can interact with their neighbours. In a way the terraces are a vertical neighbourhood and they reflect the positive atmosphere of the life in the city."
