On the central coast of Israel lies the affluent district of Herzliya Pituah, near the Mediterranean Sea. Designed by Oded & Elizabeth Tal Architects this stunning and spacious 7,534 square foot (700 square meters) residence, which is spread out onto four levels along a restricted 800 square meters site. Among the four levels includes a basement with an in-home theater room and three bedrooms, the ground floor has a swimming pool and beautiful gardens, the second floor features four en-suite bedrooms and the fourth floor hosts the master bedroom with a high vaulted ceiling and a sunny terrace. The voluminous house is split into front and rear blocks with a connecting element of curved glass walls which envelopes a rounded staircase and three-storey void directly above the dining room. Through the void there are two bridges which connect the two blocks on the floors above. The furniture throughout the home is bold and colorful, a stark contrast from the neutral wall color. The interior flooring features white stone; the bathrooms have various textured stones in shades of grey. The exterior facade is finished with white stucco and accented with dark gray volcanic stone strips. Via
