Cosmopolitan and alluring, Tel Aviv is a global crossroads where international sophisticates sample an irresistible mix of modernity and memory. One thousand years of history sets the stage for a lifestyle of modern pleasure and perfection. This is a place where glorious sunsets and endless horizons meet a towering skyline overlooking a vibrant and exuberant culture. Nightlife that thrives from dusk until dawn completes the picture of a diverse and intoxicating melting pot that is yours to call home with The Jaffa Residences.
This masterful and magnificent redevelopment is set within the 19th century buildings that once housed Jaffa’s French Hospital. Mindful of its heritage as one of Tel Aviv’s iconic historic landmarks, the project retains architectural features from the original building.
Designed by world renowned architect John Pawson in collaboration with local architect Ramy Gill, the duo tastefully transformed the 2,000-year-old historic foundations uncovered during the construction into inviting and trendy public spaces. All Residences are located in the newly constructed wing adjacent to the main hotel building with a private entrance and easy access to the diverse, high quality services and delightful amenities of the The Jaffa.

John Pawson, Design Architect
From the moment his work first came to public attention in the early 1980s, John Pawson’s impact on the world of contemporary architecture has been profound. Famous for his rigorously minimal style, he has worked on projects as wide-ranging as Calvin Klein’s flagship store in Manhattan and a new Cistercian monastery in the Czech Republic. Publishing projects include the best-selling book, Minimum, exploring the idea of simplicity in art, architecture, and design across a range of historical and cultural contexts.
Ramy Gill, Architect
A prolific Israeli architect, Ramy Gill has established himself as a leading authority on the history and architecture of Jaffa. He was the lead architect on the redesign of the Jaffa Port and published a book about its architecture that is a definitive reference guide on the subject. Ramy Gill is known for his innovative use of ‘green’ energy and materials. His ecologically minded projects, including public buildings and private residences, pay tribute to the culture and landscape from which they derive their inspiration.
