A home in Galilee is designed by Golany architects in such a way that it takes into account the natural environment that occurs all around it. The home, which has two stories, is located on a lot on the outskirts of a hamlet in Galilee. It has a view of the rocky landscape and is surrounded by the sea of Galilee. Due to the fact that the precise height at which the sea first meets the eye has been determined, the house is constructed in such a way that it provides uninterrupted views into the vast open space, since it does not include any kinds of retaining walls. In order to take use of the expansive views to the south and east, the architects headquartered in Tel Aviv have adopted a sustainable and environmentally conscious strategy, which includes flinging open floor-to-ceiling windows. In a reference to mashrabiyas, which are distinctive of the Mediterranean area, wooden shutter lattices are used to manage the harsh sunlight that enters the residence. These shutters move according to the position of the sun, providing shade and seclusion without obscuring the panoramic view. With the high heat that is characteristic of the Jordan Valley slopes, the recessed positioning of windows and doors on both floors produces a double-skin envelope of sorts that increases the home’s ability to manage the environment. When light rays are allowed to pass through the slits, the chiaroscuro effect is created, which results in an enchanted atmosphere within. These outdoor-indoor areas, which are located between the glass doors and the latticed shutters, also fulfill the function of an outdoor sitting area. In the same way that the covered balcony on the ground level serves as a natural extension of the living and dining spaces, the intermediate balcony on the first floor serves the same purpose for the family room. The ingenious development of outdoor spaces is carried on in other bedrooms on the first floor as well. These bedrooms include modest vertical louvres that provide unobstructed views of the private garden, as well as views of the fields in the village, the sea, and the golan heights. Observations of Mount Canaan and the historic town of Safed may be obtained via apertures located on the back slopes. There is a seamless integration of the natural palette with the rural surroundings. A yellowish-brown ridge at the front, rough terrain, and olive and carob trees, where the horses graze, are all modeled after the cement-textured plaster, timber shutters, light brown stone, and the wooden ceiling with towering beams that are used in the construction of the building. Additionally, the house catches the character of the area by being constructed in the midst of the existing cypress, oak, and other mature trees, as well as by planting rosemary, lavender, and spice plants in the midst of the rocky terrain.
