The Connection Between the Old and the New in Ramat HaSharon, Israel, is a unique architectural project by Roni Friedman and Arteferro, transforming a family’s 400 sqm (4,305 sqft) plot into a modern two-story house.

This renovation emphasizes entertainment spaces in the living room and courtyard, and upgrades the parents’ bedroom into a luxurious suite. The design integrates new and existing structures, featuring glass and iron partitions for privacy and harmony. A spacious, light-filled living room and a master suite with panoramic views blend seamlessly with the landscaped courtyard, complete with a pool, deck, and a pool house designed by Arteferro.

This project showcases minimalist design, inviting the landscape inside and creating an elegant, functional living space.
