Lodzia House, Industrial heritage building in Tel Aviv, Israel
Lodzia House is a red-brick structure on Nahmani Street featuring large windows and clear industrial design elements from the early 1900s. The building displays multiple floors organized with the typical style of manufacturing facilities from that era.
The structure was built in 1924 as a textile factory designed by architects Joseph Berlin and Richard Pacovsky for Tel Aviv founder Akiva Aryeh Weiss. It operated as an industrial facility until major changes came decades later when it transformed into residential use.
The building's name reflects the historical ties between the Polish textile industry and early Israeli development, bringing together people from Europe and the Middle East. Visitors can see how immigrants shaped this place by connecting it to their past through architecture and naming.
The building underwent extensive renovation in 2013 and now serves as residential apartments while keeping its original design intact. The exterior can be viewed from the street to appreciate the architectural features.
The renovation required adding two basement levels, which needed temporary steel support systems to protect the original walls during construction. This hidden restructuring shows how modern needs were carefully worked into the historic fabric.
