Auerbach Halevy Architects have been announced as winner of a competition to design a museum to display the history and future of Jewish sports in the heart of the Maccabiah Village – a 22 acre sports complex at the outskirts of Ramat Gan, Israel. With over 700,000 business travelers and tourists entering its gates each year, the complex plans to join the museum with a 350-seat auditorium, three-star hotel and education spaces to maximize its appeal and use. The building will also include the Maccabi House archives - the world's largest repository and collection of documents and objects related to the living heritage of Jewish sports.
“The conversion of the museum from a horizontal, traditional space into a vertical structure with a fully transparent elevation, which organically grows up of the main lobby, creates an impressive ‘showcase’ which is present in the daily life at the Maccabiah Village,” says the architects.
