SCH house is a modernist home in the mountains of Jerusalem. The architecture interprets the modernist style to Jerusalem’s local culture, history and climate, taking advantage of the unique site to create an extraordinary home with breathtaking views.
SCH House is situated in a quiet neighborhood overlooking the Jerusalem mountains, sitting on the mountainside on a site with a steep slope, the difference in typography allows the creation of two entrances, public and private. The modernist style and its consequent solutions manifest within the local Jerusalem context, incorporating local materials and contextual typology. The ground level is a glass cube juxtaposed by a hovering stone mass that continues as a cantilever over the front yard. Situated on the the roof is a swimming pool ending in a sublime panoramic view.
