The plan is located on a lot which was originally intended exclusively for commercial use. The plan proposes extra residential floors above a commercial level. The planning challenge is to enable infrastructure to serve all the different intended uses despite the restrictive dimensions of the lot. The planned building will have accessible links to Hebron Road to the west as well as to the public park to the east. Due to the small size of the lot, it was decided that the allocations for public use in this plan will be built into the structure itself – two of the apartments will be transferred to municipal ownership for the use of new immigrants.

The construction policy providing for densification of new construction along proposed light rail lines- adopted in 2016 by municipal planning committees- raised the option of planning the building as a tower integrating complementary planning

The neighborhoods of Rassco and Rehavia are undergoing a densification process; requiring complex planning in order to successfully integrate modern construction elements into historical buildings listed for preservation.

The building in this plan was built in the 1940s and served as a small hotel for its first few years. The plan was able to double the area of the total housing units and the built-up areas in the lot, while creating an automated parking infrastructure and preserving significant parts of the building exteriors and yard

A plan for a residential building with two apartments per floor and an underground parking lot. The two-story parking lot was made possible thanks to an underground vehicle easement from an adjacent lot, enabling optimization of the parking lot area by avoiding the use of ramps. The more efficient parking lot enabled an increase in the number of residential units with no additional vehicular traffic on Halafta Street which is a narrow street lacking in ample parking and public passageways

This project is located near the Mahane Yehuda market. Despite its limited size, the lot is relatively large compared to the adjacent lots and is located at the border between modern dense urban fabric and a historic area characterized by low-rise construction, surrounded by alleys and courtyards.

The presence of an underground parking lot in the bordering lot to the south allowed underground entry of vehicles to the lot without using ramps.

The effective planning allowed creating a high density (30 units per dunam), customary in CBD areas. A commercial front was designed at street level, with four residential floors above it.

The plan was careful to create a respectable-looking building which differentiated between the intensive building along Mesilat Yesharim Street and the inner side of the building which faces the neighborhood’s alleyways. The building includes a few preserved historic walls that remained on the lot from a historical building that was destroyed

The neighborhood of Mahane Israel is one of Jerusalem’s oldest neighborhoods. The urban development in the area has changed the architectural character of the existing buildings and in many cases destroyed the original buildings, erecting new ones in their stead.

The proposed plan seeks to prevent the demolition of the beautiful existing building, to rebuild the destroyed parts and return them to usage as living spaces. The plan proposes removing the late additions to the building and exposing as much as possible of the building’s original facades.

The design of the new additions and their position in relation to the existing building are designed to highlight the building’s various construction layers ranging from the initial construction of the building in the late 19th century to the present

Plan for a new residential building on a lot including a historical two-story building above a basement level. Approved plans for the lot contain no provisions concerning the preservation of facades or trees within the lot boundaries. The plans seek to preserve most of the existing facades in their place. The proposed building includes parts of the existing structure, with a three-story terraced addition above and alongside it

The proposed plan seeks to preserve the existing building, to restore its historical parts and return them to usage as refurbished living spaces. The plan proposes removing all the late additions to the building and to rebuild them in a way that highlights the architectural elements of the historical building. There will be no parking in the residential area in order to preserve the plants and gardening.

The design of the new additions and their position in relation to the existing building are designed to highlight the building’s various construction layers ranging from the initial construction of the building until the present. The new apartments will be accessed via a renewed stairwell in place of the existing one

The planning area includes a historical building listed for preservation currently used for offices and residential uses.

The plan will preserve the structure, proposing an additional floor and wing to the historic building for the construction of 11 residential units above an office floor. The building listed for preservation includes late additions that will be removed in the proposed plan
