The residential complex on Sderot Rager in Beer Sheva is a new urban landmark designed by SHIKA-NISHA architecture and urban design. Four slender towers with stepped, cascading volumes shape a distinct horizontal line, opening generous planted balconies. Transparent façades and deep horizontal balcony bands act as a climate buffer—providing shade, improving privacy, and emphasizing the building's refined lightness.
At street level, an active podium presents public-facing uses and designed spaces that extend the pedestrian experience and connect the project to the city. Balancing contemporary density with a "vertical garden" atmosphere, the design offers a calm, comfortable residential environment within the vibrant context of southern Israel.

The Uziel Street project in Jerusalem is a contemporary residential complex combining slender tower volumes with green, layered balconies. Façades, articulated in a clear geometric rhythm and recessed loggias, define the street line, while inner courtyards and planted gardens offer moments of calm within the dense urban fabric. Light materials and a balanced composition of mass highlight the building's dialogue with the city's climate and heritage, providing a comfortable, elegant urban environment.
At the intersection of urban density and historic context, the Uziel complex presents refined living in central Jerusalem. Three elegant towers replace a uniform façade grid with balconies and green terraces that soften the skyline and offer intimate outdoor rooms for residents. Public spaces at ground level, a designed courtyard, and usable roof terraces create a layered sequence of open and sheltered environments, improving daylight, views, and community life. The architecture speaks in a respectful, timeless language—clean lines, warm textures, and careful detailing—reinterpreted through a contemporary lens.

The child development project in Rishpon, designed by SHIKA-NISHA architecture and urban design, is a contemporary community hub where architecture supports growth, curiosity, and a sense of safety. A clean, restrained volume with a bold cantilever shapes a sheltered ground-level zone and opens the building to the surrounding park, turning the façades into a living showcase of the center's daily rhythm. Generous glazing brings in soft daylight and maintains a strong visual connection between indoor learning and outdoor activity. Warm materiality, clear spatial logic, and flexible rooms create an environment where learning unfolds naturally—through play, movement, and social interaction—making the center a welcoming landmark for children and families across the neighborhood.

The Skyport eVTOL project—advanced air mobility in Israel's Negev desert—is by SHIKA-NISHA architecture and urban design, reimagining future transport infrastructure as a continuation of the topography. A flowing, wave-like roof line echoes the horizon, shaping a distinctive silhouette and creating shaded, oasis-like environments for passengers and staff. The center combines approach and vertical landing areas with public zones and designed landscapes, balancing engineering precision with climate-sensitive planning. Beyond a transit facility, it offers a new desert typology: a light, technological gateway defined by comfort, resilience, and clear spatial legibility within the vast Negev landscape.

The Histadrut–Hovevei Zion project in Ashkelon is a large-scale residential complex embodying modern urban development where comfort, nature, and architecture meet in a harmonious living environment. The project includes buildings ranging from 10 to 30 stories, creating a dynamic and varied urban skyline.
Each concept in the project was tailored to the specific conditions of the area, the number of plots, and the needs of future residents. The central idea was to create a place where people enjoy all the benefits of contemporary life—convenient shopping areas, green parks, and easy access to everything essential for a modern lifestyle.
Histadrut–Hovevei Zion is more than a residential complex; it is a new living environment where people experience comfort, freedom, and connection to nature—a place where urban vibrancy meets calm and warmth, creating ideal conditions for everyday life.

At 56 Jabotinsky in Tel Aviv, this new residential building acts as a precise urban punctuation mark—composed, yet never aloof; contemporary, yet clearly tuned to the city's climate and street culture. The massing is defined by a dialogue between two "skins": a smooth, light-toned side façade anchors the silhouette with a calm, monolithic presence, while the main elevation opens up through warm vertical fins that choreograph sunlight into shifting bands of shadow. The texture is more than ornament—it adds depth, privacy, and the sense of a breathable envelope, a crucial quality in a Mediterranean metropolis.
Balconies read as a sequence of stacked terraces, turning the façade into an inhabited edge between home and street. Slim railings and planted moments transform the vertical surface into a cascade of small gardens, where architecture becomes a stage for everyday life. The upper level is articulated as a more private crown: the façade tightens, horizontal lines emerge, and the composition resolves into a confident final gesture—an urban building that knows exactly where it ends.
At ground level, transparency does the social work. Glazing and a clear entry sequence lend the street a sense of openness, while setbacks and greenery soften the building's contact with a busy avenue. In the end, Jabotinsky 56 is a study in balance: density with air, strict geometry with warmth, architectural discipline with the lived-in spontaneity that will inevitably appear on balconies, behind the fins, and in the evening glow of the lobby.

The Ein Yaakov Street project in Tel Aviv by SHIKA-NISHA architecture and urban design reimagines local classicism through a contemporary lens.

At ground level, transparency and warm lighting support an active urban edge—inviting movement, pause, and social encounter. The result is a precise, respectful design where Mediterranean lightness meets calculated functionality and careful finishing.
