In this fantastic architectural feat, the inherited history of a neo-classical building from the 1930s in Tel Aviv, Israel has been honored with a facelift that preserves its past. The dwelling’s original features have been beautifully augmented by sleek, modern details in a way that feels inspired rather than imposed. The result is “a world full of contrasts and tensions” that illustrates the latent harmony between old and new, and “raw and ornamental” — a space at once rich with history and open to the future. Contemporist gives us an intimate look inside.
