Student Village Wins Design Competition – Moving to Phase Two
I'm excited to share that my Student Village design for Sde Boker has won a prestigious design competition, announced by the University of the Negev. The project is now advancing to the second phase of development. This high-density, climate-responsive housing project reimagines student living in the Negev, integrating Compact City principles with passive design strategies to create a vibrant and sustainable community.
​
Designed to accommodate 160 apartments, shaded outdoor spaces, and a network of rooftop terraces, the student village fosters social interaction while optimizing thermal comfort. Its modular layout ensures flexibility, allowing for future expansion while maintaining strong connections to the surrounding urban fabric.
It’s an honor to see this vision move forward, and I look forward to sharing more updates as the project evolves.
