WIZO - NEW WING
Israel | katserin | INDUSTRIAL | OFFICES | 2019-2021
The Wizo College arranged an architectural competition for the renovation and addition to an existing building (a music school). As winners of the competition, our firm carried out the renovation.
The proposal included the renovation of the 2,400 m2 existing building, the addition of a 2,000 m2 top floor with attics and a proposal for phase two: an addition of 8,000 m2 of three new buildings and an underground parking lot. The project was awarded the 2007 “design award” for educational buildings.
Renovation and expansion of the old building: The old building was a music school designed according to the modernistic style. It had three floors with a system of vertical concrete columns and horizontal beams extending from the ceiling. A 10/10 open patio was placed at the middle of the building. The old building was out of place within the German colony’s urban fabric with its size and appearance.
The architectural concept: The challenge was to accommodate a building of this sort to the German colony with its small scaled red roofed templar buildings. Our firm didn’t see any reason to transform a “modernistic” building into a “templar” building a therefore we created a “screen wall” made of steel and wood that will mark the building’s façade as “new” and also and also add the wood as part of the local material pallet that bonds the building to its surroundings.
The wooden louvers are a climate solution providing shade for the long facades that are mostly facing the east and west.
The facades contain narrow balconies overlooking south to the Carmel mountain and the Bahai gardens, north to the sea and west to Ben-Gurion boulevard.
