The Farmers? House is an office building in Tel Aviv that was originally planned by the architect Shmuel Rozov and built for the Farmers? Federation of Israel at the beginning of the 1950s. The original building had four stories above a ground floor and its plan was clear and simple as all the floors are identical ? rooms adjacent to the building?s facade arranged around an internal courtyard, with a corridor around the building?s internal perimeter lighted by windows facing the courtyard. The original building has definite architectural values such as the technological and articular treatment of the facade, as well as the structural scheme and the way it relates to the climate and the exposures, the function of which is to regulate the entrance of air and light. This was achieved by designing the western and the eastern facades as triangles that protrude from the facade and triangles that are sunk into it in order to prevent direct light from penetrating into the building.
