About Y.A. Yashar Architects Ltd.

Yashar Architects is one of Israel’s leading architecture firms, with a legacy of innovation spanning three generations. Since the 1950s, the firm has designed landmark projects that helped shape the country’s skyline—combining vision, precision, and forward-thinking across every scale.
The firm was founded by architect Yitzhak Yashar, one of Israel’s foremost modernist architects. Among his landmark projects are the Tel Aviv Museum of Art, the Mexico Building at Tel Aviv University, and Dizengoff Center. His spirit continues to inform the firm’s design philosophy to this day.
In 1986, architect Avner Yashar joined the firm, positioning it as a leading force in Israel’s high-rise architecture. With a clear vision for dense, mixed-use urban development, he expanded the firm’s operations internationally with projects in India, Russia, Serbia, Romania, the Czech Republic, Albania, and more.
In 2019, Thai Yashar—Avner’s son—joined the office after graduating with honors from Pratt Institute in New York. His arrival marks the continuation of the firm’s intergenerational journey, combining deep experience with a forward-thinking, innovative spirit.
Yashar Architects approaches architecture not merely as a functional response, but as a cultural act that inspires. The firm’s designs emphasize light and shadow, respond to climate and topography, and are rooted in a humanistic perspective that integrates functionality, emotion, and aesthetics.
The firm is led by a team of 13 partners, each personally involved and accountable for projects. This broad partnership model ensures a wide range of expertise, and hands-on leadership throughout all stages of design, with strict adherence to budgets and timelines.
The office specializes in large-scale, complex projects including mixed-use towers, residential buildings, offices, commercial centers, public institutions, master plans, and comprehensive urban planning. Selected

notable projects include:

• Ramat Gan Diamond Exchange District – future home to Israel’s tallest tower (120 floors), alongside towers of 88 and 77 floors.
• Landmark TLV – Winner of two CTBUH 2025 Awards of Excellence: Best Tall Building in Middle East & Africa and The Space Within Award.
• ToHA I+II – a collaboration with Ron Arad Architects. ToHA 1 won the title for Best Tall Office Building Worldwide, CTBUH 2021.
• Da Vinci Towers – Winner of CTBUH 2024 Award of Excellence, Best Tall Building in Middle East & Africa.
• Aviv Limited Edition – Winner of CTBUH 2024 Award of Excellence, Best Tall Building under 100 meters.
• Iconic residential towers such as Rothschild 1, W, W Prime, ROM, and HaGymnasia Tower.
• Mixed-use projects including Gindi TLV, Vitania TLV, DUO Towers, Atarim Square (with Foster + Partners), Tara Complex and the B.S.R. City complex.
• Campuses for major global companies including Microsoft, Apple, SAP, WeWork, Western Digital, Kodak, Motorola, Comverse, and others.
With over 70 years of experience, the firm continues to lead through innovation, driven in part by its in-house Research and Development team, YARD, which integrates advanced design, academic research, and emerging technologies.
Yashar Architects sets high standards in design, creativity, and precision, and is deeply committed to advancing the quality of Israeli architecture and placing it at the forefront of the global architectural arena.
