Sderot Rothschild 61 This asymmetrical building is composed of three masses, each set back in relation to the other. In this way, the continuity of the street facade is broken and a large space remains for a garden in front of the building. The two corners are horizontally expressed in lines and masses.
The preservation project included adding a new floor, greatly set back from the facade and constructed in metal and glass. A flat roof – which functions as a floating, horizontal concrete pergola in keeping with the roofs in the building's envelope – concludes the new floor on the boulevard facade.
The Bauhaus style is a trend of modernist architecture that prevailed in the 1930-1960s. It was originally born in Germany but soon became widespread throughout the world. Its founders were Walter Gropius, Peter Behrens, and Hans Hopp. Among the most famous representatives are Le Corbusier, Mies van der Rohe, Jacobus Aud, and some others.
