israeli firm sharon neuman architects have completed 'house R' located in kfar yedidia, israel. surrounded by agricultural fields,
the juxtaposed volumes maintain a strong connection with the landscape. the split level residence has open concept planning
in the living areas, with views into the lot. a floating wall creates partial visual separation while providing a spot for the television.

the use of geometric volumes and voids are used to define the areas within the dwelling as well as add visual interest from 
an exterior perspective. this feature results in living spaces of varying heights and is used to separate one room to the next 
in an otherwise uninterrupted flowing of spaces. the cantilevered mass allows the garden to continue underneath, 
creating a pathway that is neither inside or outside. an integrated pergola gives shade for the outdoor kitchen which can be used
all year around due to the local weather.
