Airy Israeli eHouse Defined By Line And Plane

To combine day-to-day livability with a modern, minimal take on Mediterranean style, a team at Israel’s Axelrod Architects used fundamental forms as a guide for Tel Aviv home they designed around the line and plane. The concrete and glass eHome is built on two axes: one that runs lengthwise through the primary living volume and another that leads a line from the entrance to the staircase. A skylight mirrors the long axis, running the entire length of the house, while a cantilevered canopy of wooden slats follows the entryway line. The master bedroom is a half-story above the ground floor and was designed with a three-foot glass section on the bottom portion of its interior wall, which helps it float within center of the home.
