The R48 Hotel is one of Studio Liaigre's most important works and is located in one of Tel Aviv's most famous modernist architectural and cultural neighborhoods. The new design concept is based on respect for the site's surroundings, historical context and the building's own conditions, and reinterprets the contemporary trend of modernism with elegance, refinement and attention to detail.
Located in the interior of a Bauhaus-style building originally built in the 1930s, Studio Liaigre combines their unique insights into a white field. The facade of the hotel retains the iconic curved balconies and geometric right angles hollowed out in the corners, while the interior retains the classic, freely arranged columns and uniform stone floors.
Studio Liaigre focused on the lobby, suites and roof terrace of the building, where they incorporated their signature modernist vocabulary, giving a linear history multiple layers of richness. Since the facade's curtain wall forms the main part of the building, the studio took advantage of this to design the suite as a clever "light trap", satisfying the need for light while providing excellent views of the landscape.
