The Nitzan Center in Tel Aviv serves as the primary hub for the Nitzan Association's activities in the city, facilitating the organization's mission of supporting and integrating vulnerable populations into the community, aims to individuals with minor functional challenges on the autism spectrum. Located in Tel Aviv, it offers psychological and social support, housing 20 tenants in shared and couple apartments. The center also serves as the association's hub, with administrative areas, therapy rooms, and a multipurpose hall. The design prioritizes a rehabilitative approach, blending residents into the community and preserving natural elements like large trees. the sloped site featured an elevation difference of about 2.5 meters between the upper section facing Romema Street and the lower section. Preserving four large ficus trees in the western corner and maintaining an open space in the opposite corner provided an open view of the urban landscape . The building's layout offers a fresh interpretation by incorporating a traditional Mediterranean architectural element—a central courtyard. Within the orthogonal structure, an "inner street" with soft, rounded lines connects two inner courtyards that act as anchors for the project. The main entrance, the front courtyard along the large ficus trees provid an inviting entrance into the building, while the rear courtyard remains hidden until traversing a winding path, revealing an open landscape. The intimate and sheltered inner courtyard facilitates social interactions, human connections, and daily activities among the residents. Each apartment is designed so that the residents' rooms face the exterior of the building, offering maximum privacy, while shared spaces open up to the courtyards and inner street, providing vitality and activity, even for those who struggle to initiate social
. Unlike traditional rehabilitation centers, it emphasizes intimacy and normalcy. the building's sustainability aligns with Israeli green standards, maximizing energy efficiency and water conservation.
