Polishuk House, International Style office building in Tel Aviv, Israel
Description
The Polishuk House is an office building in the International Style with clean geometric lines, minimal ornamentation, and large rectangular windows on a white concrete facade over three levels. The structure features multi-level organization with extensive glass surfaces and now functions as a hotel with a rooftop terrace.
History
The construction took place in 1934 through architect Shlomo Liaskowski and initially housed fifteen shops and fifty offices within its modern structure. The spaces played a more discreet role before independence, as they sheltered a hidden press operation.
Culture
The building embodies an international architectural language that shaped Tel Aviv after the First World War, as European architects and Jewish immigrants reshaped the city. It belongs to the ensemble that brought worldwide recognition to the city from UNESCO.
Practical
The building sits at the intersection of King George Street, Sheinkin Street, and Carmel Market in a well-used area of Tel Aviv. The site is easily reached on foot and was converted for lodging with forty guest rooms.
Did you know?
The rooftop contains an infinity pool that transforms into an entertainment venue after dark, offering views across the Mediterranean metropolis. This use bridges the original function of the structure with modern leisure enjoyment.
