For many years, the Documentation Committee of Tzur Moshe sought to
create an honorable exhibit of its history. It was an old, abandoned building that
sparks the idea. A group of local entrepreneurs had a special feeling about this
specific building, they were born and raised in Tzur Moshe, and felt it has a great
potential.
The Documentation Committee and the entrepreneurs group decided to cooperate,
and use the professional help of Ron Shenkin’s Studio for Design and Architecture.
Together they specified and delineate guidelines to present history and the present in
a harmonized way. The idea was a café, alongside a museum and a documentation
center. After studying the building’s original 19'40s plans and its history as a bakery,
it was decided to preserve and restore the original building, and removing the new
structural additions built over the years.
The structure
A welcoming room at the entrance display different historical items, images
and videos from Tzur Moshe's settlement period, and more current community
information. In addition, it was decided to provide computer stations for the use of
public for browsing memorable documents and images.
All chairs and tables used at this space designed so they can be rearranged to
accommodate different needs for different occasions. If required, the space can be
closed for more intimacy, as this room is sometimes used for meetings of the council
and community.
The central open space used as the main dining area of the café. Wooden
shelves displaying antique items and books used as modular partitions to define and
divide the space, creating a dynamic space that can be rearranged according to a
specific use of the space.
The bricks from the original Tabun oven (a clay stove used for baking bread
and pitta) reused for the window thresholds and at the bar structure. Behind the bar
is a two-way metal cabinet with open shelves facing the restaurant space, designed
to be modular to enables various ways of displaying different items.
The kitchen was designed with careful planning and efficiency, which includes
utility doorways, a separate entrance, and parking for trucks and suppliers.
Next to the kitchen, at the north part of the building, located are the office and the
restrooms, allowing an easy access from dining area and the yard.
A large window facing north towards the courtyard consists of five separate
doors, each rotating and connected on a central axis. This unique design allows
natural indirect light to pass through. A display of metal laser-cut elements shaped
from historic photos displayed over the window.
The pergola located at the north part of the building, so that the building itself
shade over the outdoor dining area. Over the courtyard is a beautiful pergola, the
pergola supported by posts, which designed with a slight bend at the top and
resemble a flower. Several trails from different directions are leading to the building
accompanied by flower beds and vegetation.
The idea and design behind Kofinas share respect and appreciation to town's
history and funders, when visiting Kofinas, guests absorb the history behind the
establishment of Tzur Moshe. It is a cultural and communal meeting place which
collaborates with and for the community.
