THERE IS POTENTIAL IN EVERY CENTIMETER
Learning To Work With What You Have
Never let limited space stop you from building an amazing home. This uniquely designed home in Tel Mond, Israel was made with the idea of making every centimeter count according to Ron Shenkin, the man behind the house’s design.
Each floor in this home is only about 72 square meters; the curved corner of the home was due to the construction line limit which gave the home its signature look. The floor plan of the interior is made to accommodate the changing needs of its residents. This plan gives this rather small home surprisingly more living space to work with.
“Winning land in this country is equivalent to winning the lottery,” Shenkin says. “When you finally win, you want to divide the land so as to utilize the area to the maximum and build as much as possible on much less. The current project was defined as a duplex in the construction plan, where the outline does not allow this being only 2 x 5 meters. Also, the committee requires planning as many parking slots as possible on this land area. The situation we had to deal with in this project was challenging yet familiar.”
