The sea-facing apartment is set inside a 300-year-old building in Jaffa’s Old City, an area recognised for its winding cobbled alleyways and bustling flea market.
When it came to transforming the space into a comfortable family home, Tel Aviv-based Pitsou Kedem sought to form a “stitch between” its own contemporary style, ancient building techniques and the Ottoman-period architecture that’s prevalent in Jaffa.
Aged stone walls punctuated by grand arched openings serve as a backdrop to the rooms within this Jaffa apartment, which has been overhauled by architecture practice Pitsou Kedem.
Located in Darling Point, a leafy, harbour side suburb of Sydney, Australia, full of historic mansions, heritage-listed residences and modern high-rises, this Victorian cottage has been recently renovated by local practice Alexander & CO. for a family of five.
Drawing on the building’s architectural heritage and vernacular sensibility, the light-filled house, which despite its compact size comfortably caters to the family’s requirements, artfully combines nostalgic grandeur with a contemporary aesthetic of understated elegance.
