as part of the 'houses from within' program which was held in tel aviv, a number of
private residences were open to the public to view. one of which was 'the orange house' by
architect arik ginzburg, who also lives in the home. construction on the house just finished this year.

the overall construction of the residence has been built out of repetitive modules of steel
and glass beams. the idea is based on this idea of cubes and squares, which is evident
throughout the home.

'the orange house' has two floors along with a finished basement.
on the first floor there is a master bedroom along with two smaller living spaces each
with built a in closet, desk and bed with individual bathrooms. the ground floor houses
a dining room, family room with private deck and a living room which leads out to the garden.
the space is open with large glass sliding doors which offer views into the surrounding
japanese-style garden and pool. the house is designed to allow for passive colling,
done through the use of the reflecting pool.
