Tipo949, Renovation in Old Jaffa, Tel Aviv, Israel



The exterior of the Tipo949 renovation project by architects Raz Melamed and Omer Danan drew our attention first. We absolutely love the way this two-level apartment both stands out from and fits in within the sea-front walls of the 300-year-old stone structure.

Overlooking the Mediterranean Sea in the ancient port city of Jaffa, the oldest part of the Tel Aviv-Jaffa municipality, this residence is the height of urban cool in our opinion.
