55 Hovevei Zion

Built in the international style, this residential building was built in 1935 by architect Shlomo Gepstein. The structure comprises two complementary volumes which accent each other. One volume is relatively larger and pierced by horizontal windows. The other volume is narrower and is emphasized by open balconies with a light railing made of iron bars. The balconies break the mass of the building.

This building serves as an example of the international style, specifically embodying Shlomo Gepstein’s distinct style. An Architect who was also a journalist and an author, credited with the planning and construction of tens of buildings in Tel Aviv.
