ARAVA BUILDING
Client: AIRPORT CITY DEVELOPMENT CO
Location: AIRPORT CITY, ISRAEL
Date:
Status: COMPLETED
Architectural design of a 12,000 sq.m. multipurpose office and research building in Airport-City near Ben-Gurion Airport. A five floor high glazed corner atrium serves as the main design element as well as an urban gesture – facing a street corner where the main entrance is designed as a bridge over a reflecting pool.
The skin design is based on contrast and complement – between local stone cladding and aluminum cladding, with several variations on each facade. Louvers protect the glass wall against direct sun radiation in selected facades.
