Villa Sherover was renowned as one of the most luxurious villas built after the establishment of the state. The villa was designed by architects Carlos Gindre, Moses Benzuraf, and Emilio Vistuti from Venezuela, for the wealthy Meir Halevy Sherover and his wife Gita, on a plot of land of about 5 dunams in Jerusalem. The interior design was done by Dora Gad (interior designer of the Knesset).
After Meir's passing, Gita employed architect David Reznik to build an additional villa for her son, Gabriel, on the same plot, where the pool was located. This villa was not set for preservation.
Following the Sherovers' deaths, the villas were left neglected, along with the large plot of land.
We have preserved the original villa while incorporating two new, five-storey residential buildings on the expansive grounds, featuring a shared main lobby. The distinctive stone finish is an interpretation inspired by the unique mosaic on the roof of the original villa. The staggered floor slabs create a sense of floating in space, and the balconies themselves draw inspiration from the villa's exceptional terrace.
We decided to set the buildings back approximately 10 meters, allowing for a strip of land to be returned to the street. This facilitates the development of a sculpture garden, serving as a delightful space for pedestrians, residents, and visitors alike.
