The Reflection House

A residential private house for preservation that has been re-designed and planed anew in the old city of Safed. The planning concept included values of both preservation and renewal, while connecting between the inner and the outer and between the public and the private. The courtyard, which is an outer space, serves the function of a public space in the new house and the peripheral spaces function as the private spaces of the new house. The Designers, Henkin Irit & Shavit Zohar started the project s with the complex stage of documentation and getting acquainted with the various formative and material aspects of the site after carrying out a comprehensive stage of exposing the site.
