Story Of a Building

This exquisite mansion was built in 1948 by architect Shmuel Barkai for the Silberstein family. Barkai who worked for and was greatly influenced by the famed architect, Le Corbusier, designed this International style White Villa as an urban dwelling which became a unique asset in the Tel Aviv urban scenery. The originally two-story house was designed with an elegant grand foyer and a spacious balcony facing the street. The interior was tailored to provide functionality along with great attention to details. The ground floor was designated for the service personnel while the upper floor for the family members. The west-facing day rooms and the east-facing bedrooms were uniquely characterized and designed to provide an ample living space for the entire 12-member family. Today, the former Silberstein mansion is still considered a rare architectural icon in the heart of Tel Aviv.
