Ramat Hasharon House 10 family residence by Pitsou Kedem Architects, Tel Aviv

Visitors to “The beautiful country house” have a unique opportunity to take a virtual trip anywhere in the world with a click of the computer mouse.

Today we offer to get acquainted with the project of Ramat Hasharon House 10 by Pitsou Kedem Architects studio. A minimalist mansion in a Tel Aviv suburb in Ramat Hasharon, Israel. The local desert land is sparse on vegetation, and having a large garden on the plot makes the house an incredible bargain for any family.

A feature of the structure is that it was built in two levels, in accordance with the uneven relief of the land. Each of the floors can be accessed not only by the beautiful inner staircase of the house, but also from the street appearing on one of the spacious platforms, connected with snow-white stepped bridge. Monochrome coloring creates the illusion of a single complex volume, divided into unequal parts.

A favorite trick of modern architects, using glass surfaces to deepen the space, is also used for this project.

We think the most interesting is the interior of the living room, one wall of which is fully occupied by electrically operated glass doors leading into the garden. On the opposite side is a peculiar terrace, which is also the area of the upper level. A round dining table neighbors with a high shelf filled with books and interior design items.

This central composition connects not only the different heights of the house, but also the different areas for family recreation, cooking and entertaining.

Pool in the courtyard does not disturb the concept of high artistic chaos. It has an elongated rectangular shape and its water surface seems to flow out of the glass surface of the sliding doors. If you dare to visit this house, linger into the evening to see with your own eyes the magically lit building, doubled by a mirror-like surface of water.
