Green Design

The partnership specialises in Green Architecture, in climatic and environmental design, and in energy conscious architectural design. This is manifest in many different projects, such as: "Nofim" - a senior citizen housing project in Jerusalem; Luz Hi-tech Industries headquarters in Jerusalem; an IDF industrial sewing factory; the regional government administration centre in Beer-Sheva, and in town planning projects as well as various private houses.

Great care is given to integrating the clients' needs into the design while using appropriate technologies and observing the climatic, environmental and sociological aspects of each project.
