With over two decades of operation, our studio has emerged to be one of the leading firms on the Jerusalem scene.

We regularly participate in local and international design competitions, earning segnificant awards for our work.
Offering a comprehensive range of Architectural services, we specialize in master-planning, urban design, urban renewal, housing, commercial developments, high-end service buildings, laboratories, historic preservation and interior design. Our experience extends to national and international projects with focus on sustainability, research, development and effective communication of urban strategies in complex contexts and multiple interests.
We regard our work as the oresult of a continuous design process throughout the project, in which both client and Architect work together in order to achieve optimal value and architectural quality. For us, buildings encompass involvement in the concept and design stage, through planning, to construction and completion of the project. Our expertise is based upon a solid foundation of budget, process and program control, and an intensive dialogue with the city, the client, consultants, contractors and end users. This ensures the project`s successful completion and the full satisfaction of both client and the end user.
Between 2008-2023, Architect Yuval Baer was a partner in the studio
