The city of Raanana (pop. 81,000), in the center of Israel, appealed to some development companies to proppse a Design-Built (DB) project for a new City Hall combined with commercial areas, all around a public plaza. The commercial areas were supposed to finance the construction of the 15,000 sqm City Hall  area.

Our design propose to create a multi-level commercial complex well exposed to the public plaza, with the City Hall as its “back stage”.
