Land+Living: Ben Avigdor Lofts

Architecture, Interiors — June 20, 2005 Posted by James

Design / build remodel of industrial space into loft apartments in Tel Aviv

Designed and built by Tel Aviv, Israel based partnership U-I, Avi Laiser and Amir Shwarz, the lofts were built in an old diamond polishing factory that was vacant for more than 10 years. The project is aimed at a young population who look for contemporary rental spaces in the center of Tel Aviv’s business/industrial district, and desire a creative lifestyle.

The lofts were built on a very low budget in a speed time of 4 months using a flexible wall construction method that allows joining two spaces or more to create larger spaces in the future. The polished concrete floors are continuous and each unit got a colored wall or box that defines the usages of the open space. Right now the project is fully occupied with happy tenants.

UPDATE (7-29-09): Avi Laiser now has his own firm AR/Arch. We're not sure what Amir is up to these days.

this might be beautiful to look at on the picture, but this is a bit too sterile for my taste. not cozy. the sofa looks uncomfortable.
