Patio House / Jonathan Canetti Architecture & Design

The Patio House, located in a quiet residential neighborhood in Tel Aviv, is a modern interpretation of a classic Mediterranean house. It has a sun-filled patio at its heart, enclosed by all the public areas of the house. The prominent pitched roof extends from the patio upwards to create spacious double-height interior spaces. Designed for a family of five, the house is relatively small, just shy of 180 sqm. The ground floor is planned to take up less than a third of the lot in order to maximize the yards surrounding the house and to create an intimate yet spacious home.
