This German embassy residence is designed as a patio house on stilts with four linked wings and a main storey. The first two wings are dedicated to public and reception activities. They are functionally separate, but form a single built entity. The courtyard trope is a reference to the emergence of the kibbutzim and the Bauhaus tradition in Israel โ the social and communitarian dimension โ since courtyard typologies were popular in that period. The design is also geared to a specific climatic factor, since it allows the north wind to enter the building, cooling the interior spaces.
The embassy has two gardens, a linear garden running around the four wings, and an interior garden designed as a private oasis.
These two gardens are interconnected, a natural surface free of almost all construction. The four wings can be joined to allow the building to function as a single loop.
