The goal of the competition was the restoration of the city's main street. Knowing that in the future the city's population is expected to double.
Bornstein Street is characterized by a variety of buildings built from different periods. There is not a single straight view down the street and it lacks commercial space.
The main work was creating a continuous wall along the street by building additions to existing buildings and demolishing and rebuilding dilapidated buildings, while maintaining the existing urban fabric.
Along Bornstein Street, on the ground floor, we added public functions - shops, community centers, hostels, pharmacies, kindergartens, and more, while the back entrance of the buildings- parallel to Bornstein Street, provides the private entrance of the tenants to the building.
Since it is a wide main thoroughfare in the heart of the desert, we found it appropriate to create a "promenade" parallel to the main thoroughfare, which will allow a shady and pleasant walk for the locals, while "closing" yards that allow pleasant sitting for a long time relative to the challenging climate.
