Reut: Powerful Greenery Against Exposed, Dramatic Concrete

Location: Reut
Property Type: Private house
Plot Size: 500 sqm
Interior Design: Sissi Ziv
Photography: Gideon Levin

In the community of Re’ut, on a plot spanning approximately 500 sqm, we planned a unique living environment for a family of six. The project presents a compelling dialogue between modern architecture and the aspiration to create a green, practical, and calming “oasis.”
The planning vision for a large family focused on creating an outdoor space that precisely combines family-oriented functionality with a refined design language. The plot was divided into activity zones that allow for shared, relaxed use, with an emphasis on material durability and ease of maintenance over time. The house itself is characterized by clean lines and extensive use of exposed concrete, giving the structure a powerful presence.
The landscape planning and planting design were carried out in close collaboration with interior designer Sissi Ziv, with the aim of making the garden an inseparable part of the interior experience. Through the large glass openings, the garden is revealed as a “living picture.”
The intense greenery was carefully selected to serve as a complementary contrast to the exposed concrete, thereby enhancing the atmosphere within the home. The planting selection was designed to create a “green screen” that penetrates the living spaces, introducing vitality and softness into the modern environment.
