Nachalim Towers

Location: Petah Tikva, Hadar Ganin

Size: 42,000 sqm

Category/Status: Done 2012-2018

Type: Residential

Planning five towers reaching 22 floors set at 45 degrees for open views in 100% of apartments.
Challenge: sukkah balcony for religious-national public for all apartments, exit from living area (day wing)

Detailed design of 5 towers (the highest one being of 22 stories) indicated for religious inhabitants (datiim leumiim).
Each flat has a balcony suitable for a Soucca which actually is a "sun balcony", open to the sky and the entrance to it always via the day quarters.
The plan includes a cross section of a typical floor divided into two, so that each half can confine 2 flats of 5 rooms, or a 6 room flat and a 4 room one.Thus, flexibility of marketing was achieved.
In between these two halves are the staircases, the lifts and the 4 reinforced rooms - all the way to the top floor.
In between the towers there is an "attractive" open space for the tenants and others. The open space is closed to vehicles so that the tenants and the children enjoy a safe environment.

Sukkot is a Jewish festival that lasts 7 days in Israel (8 outside Israel). It usually falls in September or October.
The word Sukkot means “booths” or “huts”, and it commemorates the 40 years the Israelites wandered in the desert after leaving Egypt, living in temporary shelters.
This picture was taken in one of the 7 days of Sukkot hollyday.
