The Charm Townhouse by MGA | Meirav Galan Architect
The Townhouse, owned by the Charm-Long Family, has been designed in the historic neighborhood of Neve Tzedek, Tel-Aviv, as an addition to an existing old house originally built at the beginning of the last century.
Description
A townhouse in every aspect, it is built on a 190 sqm lot, within a dense urban fabric, consisting three floors above street level and a basement, at a total built area of 320 sqm.
The final outcome was born out of countless design dilemmas and many municipality limitations, aimed to preserve the historic character of Neve Tzedek. At such a dense historic location, the biggest challenge was to succeed, in fulfilling all the Charm-Long members? needs, as well as using each square centimeter, whilst creating a specious, airy and cozy home, plentiful of natural light yet ensuring privacy. The street Facade design was done with respect and sensitivity to the unique character of the neighborhood, preserving the features and pace of the old European windows so typical to Neve Tzedek. Alongside is the house?s modern full height entrance, hinting what one can anticipate as the house continues inward. Side and back facades, being semi hidden inspired their contrast design.
A design revealed gradually, starting with the entrance, continuing with the stairs? full height windows and ending with the big presence of the back facade windows covered by double height ?Pacman? shutters, specially designed and manufactured for this house.
