Harakevet Mixed Use Project

The landscape strategy is organized around a dense urban forest positioned at the center of the scheme, establishing a planted core that anchors the public realm and mediates between the surrounding towers.
Conceived as a compact ecological mass rather than a decorative garden, the forest introduces spatial depth, shade, and seasonal change within a dense urban condition.
A rich and layered planting palette creates vertical and horizontal stratification, generating an immersive microclimate and reinforcing biodiversity. Informal paths of compacted gravel and natural stone carve through the vegetation, producing a softer, exploratory movement pattern that contrasts with the defined geometry of the surrounding urban edges.The central forest acts simultaneously as landscape infrastructure, social space, and climatic device — structuring circulation, framing views, and transforming the ground plane into a continuous and resilient public environment.
