Yashar Architects is the result of two generations of architectural creativity and excellence. Yashar Architects embodies Israel’s progressive building culture from the 1950’s to the present. As one of the great modern Israeli architects, Yitzhak Yashar’s presence can be seen and felt in many of Israel’s most prominent buildings, such as the Tel Aviv Museum of Art. They co-managed the firm until Y
itzhak Yashar’s retirement. While keeping in line with his father’s creative inspiration, Avner Yashar carries Yashar Architects’ vision to the 21st century. In meeting the demands of the market, Yashar Architects branched into the private sector and experienced substantial growth not only in this field but in the public sphere as well. With a vision ahead of its time, Avner Yashar decided more than ten years ago to focus on high density design. With an understanding of upward growth, Yashar had been concentrating on the planning and construction of high-rise buildings. As a result, Yashar has established himself as a leader in construction of office and residential towers. Consistent with the vision of Yashar and the needs of the global market, Yashar Architects has expanded operations and is currently involved in projects throughout Russia, Ukraine, India, Romania, Bulgaria, Slovakia, the Czech Republic, Lithuania, Latvia, Hungary and Cyprus. Yashar takes pride in the character its projects naturally assume. A product of the Tel-Aviv-influenced Bauhaus style, Yashar sees the buildings it creates not only as functional elements but as places for the people who occupy them. While modern buildings may consist of outwardly industrial materials such as glass and aluminum, Yashar goes to great lengths to incorporate climate, topography and personal character into its projects. Yashar puts an emphasis on the importance of light and shade in its buildings. As an expression of the wish to evoke a humanistic experience in all who come into contact with both their public and private buildings, Yashar bridges functionality with aesthetics and emotions. Yashar takes into account not only architecture but the design of the landscape as well. Yashar believes in developing a relationship not only with the building but with the area around it and with the local cultural character of those people who will enjoy Yashar’s creations. While building for the future, Yashar Architects looks to its roots for inspiration. The perseverance and creativity of its first generation contribute and inspire the diligence and creativity of Yashar Architects’ current designers.
