DG House

DOMB Architects have designed the DG House in Ramat-Hasharon, Israel.

The design for the house is modern and simple by using basic materials such as painted plaster, grey oak and glass. “Elevation reflects the inside - Same simplicity, same materials, and same quite. The lot is located at the dead-end street. Facade is very narrow, and at the back of the lot a public park”.


The initial decision was to put the building in the advance lines of the street, and to leave the back garden big as much as possible. The house was divided into two wings, because of the width of the pitch, which connected with open staircases. The front elevation is sealed, hiding the house from the street.

“Huge doors open to the volume, which bring the views to the pool, and leave in the center of the house - a double height central space that connects all house activities and is the meeting point of the house”.

“From the entrance - a wooden deck leading from the street, through the living room to the garden in the back of the field”.


“The intermediate space, double height - is the living room. It connects the two wings with overhead bridges and staircase”. Huge glass walls were used here to allow natural views and light into the home.

“The kitchen is in the public part of the ground floor  with dining area from which go to the yard with BBQ Outdoor unit”.
