Europe-Israel Tower, Office tower on King Shaul Boulevard, Tel Aviv, Israel
The Europe-Israel Tower is a 24-story office building reaching about 92 meters tall in Tel Aviv's business district. Its facade features an unusual design with patterns that resemble computer keyboards and typewriter parts.
The tower was designed by Avraham Yaski and Yossi Sivan as the new headquarters of IBM Israel, which moved from 15 Lincoln Street. Construction began in 1977 and was completed in 1979 after 27 months, with each concrete floor built in nine days. IBM occupied it until 1999, when it was sold to Europe-Israel for $50 million; in 2007 Amot Investments bought it and renamed it.
The tower's window grid was designed to evoke an IBM computer keyboard, and its vertical lines contrast with the horizontal ones of the adjacent Asia House. The ground floor once held a cafeteria, later converted to offices, and the building now houses law firms.
The building sits in Tel Aviv's business district along King Shaul Boulevard and is easy to locate. Visitors can access the ground-level areas, though most spaces inside are private offices.
The concrete frame of each floor was built in nine days, and the whole tower was finished after 27 months of work. The window grid was meant to recall an IBM computer keyboard.
