Montefiore 22 Tel-aviv | K.O.T Architects

What does a historic Tel Aviv apartment look like that has been preserved and renovated and is supposed to be used as a home for A retired couple who have lived all their lives in an agricultural settlement?

The apartment was designed for a couple in their seventies, who were looking for a place to rest on weekends and holidays, and to be close to the cultural and leisure centers upon their retirement.

The apartment is located at 22 Montefiore St. in Tel Aviv in a 2-story preservation building designed by the architect Yosef Minor in 1924 in an eclectic oriental and romantic style as part of the European styles that immigrated to Israel. (The building recently underwent conservation work and a construction addition by the architect Yaniv Pardo).

KOT Architects have finished designing 4 apartments in the building: 2 garden apartments, a penthouse apartment and a historic apartment for preservation. The apartment for the conservation is located in front façade of Montefiore Street and above a commercial floor. In the front facade, the kitchen windows was preserved with the geometry of the pointed arch associated with the oriental style and green wooden shutters covering tall wooden windows.
