Matcal Tower, Government building in HaKirya quarter, Tel Aviv, Israel.
Matcal Tower is a high-rise building located within a military complex in Tel Aviv, standing 17 stories tall. The structure features an aluminum oval core and includes a helipad on its roof.
The tower was designed in the early 2000s by Moore Yaski Sivan Architects to serve defense purposes. The building was constructed as a central administrative hub within an existing military complex.
The tower represents modern Israeli architecture through its postmodern design while functioning as the central command location for the IDF General Staff.
The tower stands within a secured military compound that is not accessible to the public. Visitors can view the building from outside the complex through neighboring public areas.
The building's oval core design was specifically engineered to provide structural stability and security. This technical feature makes the tower an interesting example of adapted architecture.
