Kodrianski & Podlyashuk House

One of a pair of adjacent twin buildings, this residence was built in 1922 in the Romantic Style (known in Israel as the Eclectic Style). Located at 6–8 Yehuda HaLevi Street in Tel Aviv, the impressive pair was designed by Jerusalem-based architects Wilhelm Heker and Eliezer Yelin and remains a prominent architectural landmark to this day. Yehuda HaLevi Street is one of historic Tel Aviv’s most significant streets. As one of the first five streets of Achuzat Beit, it bears witness to the city’s expansion and its unification with the Neve Tzedek and Neve Shalom neighborhoods.

Adjacent to the main façade of No. 8, a setback courtyard emphasizes the main volume of the stairwell, accentuating the building’s entrance. A continuous street-facing fence creates a sense of unity between the two buildings.

The building’s southern façade overlooks Park HaMesila, a linear park stretching between Neve Tzedek and Jaffa and extending toward the beach. Featuring cycling paths, walking trails, and lush vegetation, the park follows the route of the modern light rail as well as the historic railway line between Jaffa and Jerusalem.
