POLI HOUSE<br />
Occupying a central corner in the White City, the Polishuk or<br />
Poli House – named for Yehuda Polishuk, the Ukrainian owner<br />
who commissioned the commercial building from Shlomo<br />
Liaskovski – was designed in 1933. Having fallen into disrepair<br />
in the 1980s, in recent years this streamlined sweep of stucco has<br />
been refurbished by Israeli architect Nitza Szmuk and American<br />
designer Karim Rashid into a boutique hotel.<br />

SHIMON LEVI HOUSE<br />
A nautical take on the International Style, this residential<br />
building was designed in 1935 by architect Arieh Cohen.<br />
Designed in defiance of the city’s three-storey height limit,<br />
this six-storey building with its rounded corners and strong<br />
horizontal lines has always reminded locals of an ocean<br />
liner and is known locally as the Ship House. Symbols of<br />
internationality, equilibrium, and connectivity, ocean liners were<br />
icons of the modern age and often referenced in architecture.<br />
