The new central main square in Holon is a unique project designed With our collaboration by the international architect Vera Yanovtchinsky and her office VYA.

Located near the Ron Arad museum, The HIT Academy, the main mall, the "Mediatech and a new area of residential towers, the new square will have an intense use by the citizens of Holon and surroundings. The shape of the square is determined by five separate buildings. the new city hall tower of 22 levels, The main Cultural and Music centre, two residential towers of 20 and 21 levels and an Offices Tower of 12 levels. In addition, we will have an area of 22,000 sqm, containing two commercial levels and 3 Underground levels of 23,000 sqm each.

The landmark created by the five buildings speaking in the same architectural language, is visible from afar and clearly distinguished from its haphazard urban context.

In their lower part, the buildings have recessed and transparent plinths of approximately seven meters high, creating shadowed places and a flowing vision between the outside of the square end the inside of the public and commercial parts of the buildings. In this way the plan reinforces the continuity of the square, creating a night and daily enjoyable Urban life in The new “Holon City Centre“ with its mixed use program - events, celebration days and private events, street theatre, activities for children etc.

The square is for use by the citizens of Holon and its surroundings. It is attractive to all visitors and open to use by individuals, small groups as well as large-scale events. The atmosphere is a pleasant one, both day and night. Sustainability is a leading principle in the overall design.
