Architect Kobi Gal and Architect Vered Matsliah-Ellenbogen joined forces to realize a vision of structural perfection. The firm they established – Gal & Matsliah Architects – continuously reinvents architectural principles, adhering to the use of pure, functional geometry. Their signature is evident wherever they cultivate a new architectural creation. The harmony they pursue unites all exterior and interior elements of a building into one cohesive identity.
The Israeli landscape is undergoing refreshing and welcome changes, with the most interesting among them driven by the office of Gal & Matsliah Architects – a firm specializing in architectural design that fuses exterior planning with interior design. Their imprint is evident wherever they bring a new creation to life.
The Structure of Creation
The office's foundation is rooted in viewing architecture as a form of applied art. This unique studio has redefined the vision of construction—creating fascinating and highly functional structures, based on an innovative aesthetic concept they call “Geometry in Motion.”
This vision is realized through cohesive and organic architectural creations that consider every internal and external element of the structure: materials, geometry, light and shadow, color, space, dynamics, movement, and proportion. They always account for the project’s location, its design in the context of time and local memory, and its full adaptation to climatic conditions and real-world constraints.
The firm’s founders—architect Kobi Gal and architect Vered Matsliah-Ellenbogen—combined their strengths to define architectural wholeness. Together with a team of skilled architects and designers, they continuously develop new architectural principles while maintaining a commitment to pure and functional geometry. The harmony they pursue fuses all the building’s components into a unified identity, granting each structure a distinct personality and a life of its own. Each project becomes a unique architectural entity.
Changing the Urban Landscape, Together
Kobi Gal began his independent career in 1990 with a dream to reshape the urban environment, to break the routine, to give every building a unique identity, and to maximize the comfort and functionality it provides to its users.
In 2002, he was joined by architect Vered Matsliah-Ellenbogen. Today, they work as full partners in realizing their shared dream. Each brings unique expertise as an essential element in creating holistic architecture that blends exterior and interior—from the urban context to the finest details of interior design.
Kobi has built a reputation for designing and renovating villas, luxury apartments, existing buildings, and office spaces. As both an architect and interior designer, he is able to plan structural additions and exterior renovations while obtaining all necessary permits.
Vered specializes in the architectural planning of complex buildings, combining functional and creative thinking. She develops projects through a systemic planning approach, with her personal hallmark coined in the concept introduced by the firm: “Geometry in Motion.” Their shared dream of transforming the built environment is coming true in a big way. The firm stands out in urban renewal projects thanks to its unique ability to maximize building rights while addressing site-specific data, context, and urban landscape.
Creative Thinking Reduces Costs
The firm handles a wide range of projects—including urban planning, residential towers, single-family homes, public buildings, commercial centers, and industrial structures.
Gal & Matsliah Architects is a sought-after and client-friendly firm offering a rare, comprehensive envelope for large-scale projects—from exterior building design to interior planning—throughout all planning and construction stages. Clients benefit from an unwavering commitment to high standards, customized design, and exceptional creativity and originality.
Notable clients include: Africa Israel, Canada Israel, Keshet - Channel 2, Moshev, and Dori Concept.
Another area of expertise is designing mixed-use buildings—residential towers that integrate commercial, public, and hotel spaces, as well as office buildings and conference halls—all without the need to engage additional firms.
The ability to offer complete, unique solutions under one roof reduces overall project costs and delivers significant savings for clients.
Some Stones Have a Human Heart
The excellence, vision, and talent of Gal & Matsliah Architects pave the way not only for their firm and its clients but for Israeli architecture as a whole—and for the environments in which we live our daily lives.
Vered and Kobi say their architecture aims to spark thought, leave a rich legacy for future generations, and break monotony—all while elevating the spirit and breathing new life into the structures that surround us.
