Sonol Tower, Office tower on David Hachmi Street at Begin Road, Tel Aviv, Israel
Sonol Tower is a 25-storey office building about 98.5 metres tall at the corner of David Hachmi Street and Begin Road in Tel Aviv. Its plan is oval, its top is cut at a diagonal, and the whole facade is clad in dark blue reflective glass. A typical floor covers 1,260 square metres, and a 600-space car park sits inside the building.
The building was designed by Moore Yaski Sivan Architects and opened in 2004 as part of Tel Aviv's modernization wave. This period marked a shift toward contemporary office architecture in the city's growing business district.
The tower represents the modern office buildings that have defined Tel Aviv's skyline in recent decades. At ground level, an operational gas station keeps the base of the structure active and functional.
The building is located on a major thoroughfare and is easily accessible by public transportation. Access to the interior is limited to those with business appointments, as it remains a private office structure.
The narrow building lot led architects to create an elongated elliptical shape that appears narrower from some angles than others. The indented curtain walls were deliberately designed to direct more sunlight into the interior spaces despite the tight site constraints.
