With Mediterranean Sea Views, This Home Is An Architectural Gem<\/h1>\n\n\n

2024 Best of Year Winner for International Small City House<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Overlooking the old Mediterranean port, this 2,700-square-foot, three-story town house in Tel Aviv-Jaffa, Israel, by Pitsou Kedem Architects<\/a> responds to its setting by wrapping the upper floors in terra-cotta masonry, a material sympathetic to the historic neighborhood\u2019s architectural fabric. Comprising 14,000 custom-made bricks, the shell appears as a solid wall on some facades and a perforated screen on others\u2014the latter a contemporary interpretation of traditional mashrabiya<\/em> latticework, a ubiquitous element in Islamic architecture. One screen separates a patio from the street, providing passersby with a glimpse into the cool, planted courtyard it encloses, while the top-floor living room is bordered by a stainless-steel swimming pool that appears to merge with the sea spread out before it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
