Introduction to Neve Sha’anan Parcels

The Parcels are a low-cost, expandable, and self-constructible public housing complex in Neve Sha’anan, Tel Aviv. The project builds off a strong foundation centered around a positive and ethical relationship with the surrounding area, and focuses on providing essential amenities, housing, and opportunities to the neglected residents of the neighborhood. Taking a bottom-up approach to design, our priority when creating the Neve Sha’anan Parcels was not to simply provide a short-term resolution to the housing crisis, but to generate an enduring catalyst for positive change.
