Chief Planner

Kika Braz-Schwartz, the company’s founder, graduated in Architecture and Urban Planning (Honors) in 1985 from the Technion in Haifa. She earned her MA in Architecture, specializing in Building Design, from Colombia University, New York, USA in 1988.
Kika founded the office in 1989, having returned from four years in NY where she interned in the offices of world-renowned architect Moshe Safdi, and Frank Williams & Associates. Working there enabled her to accrue valuable experience in complex building design while coping with central issues in contemporary urbanism, including high-density construction and related issues in the world’s largest metropolises.
Kika brings a personal female perspective to her work, evident in the close attention to small details so important in home life. Apartments are not merely a technical spaces in which to live but first and foremost, a home. As such, the spaces and structures must have a family nature and address the interlinking relationships in the family, where on an everyday basis lives are conducted both individually and jointly. The various scenarios typical of everyday Israeli life funnel into Kika’s vision on planning, enabling the family to infuse the apartment with personalized identity and expression, turning it into their own unique home.
