HaShotrim neighborhood, Beit Shemesh

Client: Beit Shemesh municipality, ILA
Project Initiation: 2015
Location: Beit Shemesh
Project Area: 72 dunam
Status: Approved
Program: Housing, open spaces, public buildings and a stadium. 200 residential units, total built area 38,000 square meters
Planning Team: Ari Cohen, Michael Wind

The plan is located at the main entrance to the city of Beit Shemesh (the “Big” Junction), close to the historic stadium. The plan aims to construct residential buildings along the western side of Ha’aliya Street, linking the Bialik neighborhood from the south to the commercial center in the north of the city. This will create an urban continuity between the different parts of the city and will afford better access to the open space at the foot of the plan to all the surrounding residents. The plan also took on the restoration of the historic stadium, reintroducing it to proper use while regulating its neglected physical and statutory status
