Rembrandt 4
Tel Aviv, IL
Located within the UNESCO World Heritage district of central Tel Aviv, also known as the “White City”, Rembrandt 4 proposes an elevated and inclusive experience in the Mediterranean city.
Nested within a quiet side street off central Ibn Gvirol blvd, the project houses 21 units and includes 2 penthouse stories. The proposal seeks to replace a historic Modernist residential building from the late 1950s, adhering to local preservation laws and guidelines.
DESIGN FOR AGEING-IN-PLACE
SUMMARY
Rembrandt 4 sought to replace a 4-story apartment building in central Tel Aviv from the 1950s with a new, 7-story mid-rise development. Existing residents were provided with new, accessible, and individually tailored apartments, designed with ageing-in-place strategies. The units included accessible washrooms, wider corridors and doors, and simplified paths of travel throughout the units with minimum obstacles and maximum clearances. Additional features like roll-in showers and adaptable kitchens were also considered for the new apartments, intended to be sold.
