The Green House, Art Deco building in Jaffa, Israel
The Green House is an Art Deco building in Jaffa, Tel Aviv, recognized by its green facade, geometric ornaments, and strong symmetry. It stands in the Jaffa neighborhood within a city area that still holds many buildings from the same period.
The building was put up in 1934, when Tel Aviv and neighboring Jaffa were going through a rapid urban transformation shaped by European architectural currents. During that period, many architects trained in Europe settled in the region and brought Art Deco and Bauhaus ideas with them.
The building takes its name from the green color of its facade, which sets it apart from most other structures in the area. Visitors walking past can study the geometric ornaments and the symmetrical layout of the front at close range.
The building is in Jaffa and can be reached on foot from central Tel Aviv or from the seafront promenade without much effort. Daylight is the best time to visit if you want to see the facade details clearly.
While many buildings from the 1930s in Tel Aviv have been repainted or altered over the decades, this one has kept its original green color since it was first built. That continuity of color is what gave the building the name it still carries today.
