Herzl 79 Situated at the corner of Herzl and Florentin Street, this building was designed for Zadok Ehrlich, one of the founders of the metal industry in the country.
Haller emphasised the building's horizontal dimension through the grey stripes that connect the windows and form a ribbon, and the vertical aspect was accentuated by the vertical "thermometer" window of the stairwell. The top-floor balcony and the roof pergola – typical of Modernist architecture in Tel Aviv – emphasise the corner.
All the building's details underwent thorough preservation and reconstruction. One entire floor and two partial ones were added to it.
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.
