Extensively Renovated 60’s Tel Aviv Home with a Stunning Spiral Staircase in Black

Giving old homes a brand new makeover often means taking the ‘bones’ of the old structure and working within the constraints to create a functional modern residence. The Modern 60’s Renovated House Tel Aviv revamped and extensively renovated by Broides architects was originally built in the 1960’s. The new interior of this family residence has a street façade in white with acid glass windows that usher in natural light while offering complete privacy. On the inside, it is a spiral staircase in black that becomes the unrivalled center of attentions with its stunning design leaving you wowed. Accentuating its visual impact is the brick clad wall behind it that was whitewashed to create even more contrast.

Renovated modern house in Tel Aviv retains original form from the 60’s








It is easy to fall in love with the new living area that is divided into two separate zones thanks to the staircase and the brick wall. On the upper level you have a custom mustard yellow wooden wall that holds behind it bedrooms and bathrooms. Pops of color are kept down to a minimum with neutral color scheme setting the backdrop in every room of the house. A distinct metal mesh and steel beams add unique character to the building exterior while paying a tribute to its path.

  • Cascading House

    The site has the typical challenges of many urban lots in Ho Chi Minh city: abutted by tall neighboring houses, small developable area relative to the clients’ program, and compromised access to daylighting and natural ventilation. Due to the height restriction, the house was pushed 1 level below the ground to accommodate the large program. In an effort to solve as many issues as possible, we proposed a concrete column system hidden inside the north and south concrete wall that face the neighbors, acting as the primary structure for the house and freeing up the space in-between. These concrete walls provide privacy to the clients and their family, and open up the east and west facade for views and outdoor-indoor connection. Because the column system extends continuously from the basement to the roof, the concrete beams spanning in-between can be moved vertically without any structural concerns. This flexibility also meant total discretion to determine the elevations of the upper floors–which we intended to take advantage of. By convention, the program is stacked floor-by-floor to maximize the usable area of a small lot which could result in monotonous and isolated spaces. We wanted to do just the opposite: visually and spatially connecting the different parts of the house together by splitting the floor plates, and then cascading them to create a multi-story atrium. In this space, life unfolds naturally; once a family member steps out of the bedroom, he/she will be in an all-connected “room”, and in the company of another member, whether that person is on the other side of the atrium or 2 levels above. In addition to spatial articulation, this atrium brings daylighting down to the basement, and–working with the 2 sunken gardens which are naturally filled with cool air–aids the stack effect by letting the hot air rises to the top. The temperature of the lower floors, as a result, becomes more comfortable. From the outside, Cascading House looks solid as a rock that provides sturdy shelter. The interior, however, feels as porous as a sponge soaking up natural light and air, and brings family members closer together–the qualities that make this house a home.
