The neighborhood of Malha sits on a steep North-South slope. The Neighborhood master plan, as laid out by Moshe Safdie, divided the area into parcels in which a small number of apartment building would be planned by the same architect. Also, the main visual concept was that all building should be low rise and follow the topography, so as to appear to fit into the hill from a distance and resemble the geometry of the Arab village. Our project follows these guidelines and is made up of four main blocks of houses with slightly winding paths running through.
Most of the projects higher up on the hill are long rows of terraced apartments.
