Archaeological House
Firm
Type
The house is located in Ramat-Yishai in the IzraelValley,
inhabiting a lot consisting of a 1,200 year-old archaeological site. The house
based on a few guiding principles:
The
historical house provides the basis for the new house
The presence
of the antiquities is felt throughout the entire house
The
building's materiality is contemporary and different from the existing
stone structure
The new
building introduces a new layer to the site's history
The house is
environmentally friendly and utilizes passive climatic design.
The original plan and layout of the historic building were reconstructed
and were employed in order to construct the two main walls of the house. These
walls are a direct continuation of the historic walls and rise all the way to
the roof of the house. All the spaces of the house are tied to these walls and
the archaeology is visible from every point. The historic structure - both
physically and conceptually - supports the new structure.
Additionally, the houses orientation towards the west allows for a view of
the historic site in the garden and the landscape of the valley. The western
orientation makes use of the wind direction and helps cool the house during the
summer. The tall space between the walls helps with the interior wind
circulation and drives the hot air outside.
The building is clad with a layer of wooden slats in various widths. These
slats can all rise and provide a maximum feeling of openness towards the
scenery and direct sunlight during the winter. During the summer the lowered
slats help shade the interior while still allowing in diffused sunlight.
Furthermore, the temporality of the wood as opposed to the stone and concrete
and the stratification created through these slats accentuates the fact that
the new house is nothing more but a new layer in the ongoing history of the
site.
