B’Yachad Building | TKD Architects

The B’Yachad Building reimagines a pragmatic 1970s teaching building as an innovative and engaging place for learning. The building includes 9 new learning spaces on three levels including an Imaginarium or maker space including support staff, meeting rooms and toilet facilities. The terracotta tiles and steel accentuate the articulated forms and setbacks on the upper level creating a building that is layered and modulated when viewed from the street.

Reusing the structural walls and floors of the original Adler Building acts as a starting point for a sustainable future while the building targets high levels of energy efficiency and lower operational energy consumption. The playful interior creates nooks for reading, quiet concentration spaces and permeations between spaces sharing light, air and sight connections. The landscape design assists in the comprehension and legibility of the site by building on the existing landscape patterns while creating better connections between the buildings.
