Built in 1934 at the corner of Tel Aviv's Nachalat Binyamin Street, the curved white tower that houses The Poli House by Brown Hotels is one of the purest surviving examples of International Style architecture in a city that UNESCO designated a World Heritage Site for precisely this kind of building. The original structure, designed in the Bauhaus-influenced manner that European-trained architects brought to Mandatory Palestine in the 1930s, presents its characteristic rounded corner balconies, horizontal banding, and flat roof to the street with the confidence of a building that has always understood its own importance. What the renovation — carried out under the direction of Israeli designer Karim Rashid, who completed the interiors around 2016 — does is place that architectural inheritance in deliberate tension with a graphic Pop sensibility. Inside the hotel's 35 rooms, the collision is productive rather than jarring: all-white volumes are activated by acid-yellow seating, turquoise daybed upholstery, and sculpted oval mirrors set flush into the walls, while black-and-white chevron-patterned rugs and wave-relief headboard panels recall Rashid's signature appetite for optical pattern without overwhelming the compact proportions. The rooftop is the property's most assured gesture — a rooftop pool and bar terrace set against the Tel Aviv skyline, patterned cement tiles underfoot, a backlit curved bar in Corian white, and Moroccan-influenced lanterns casting warm light across wire-frame sun loungers. The whole thing holds together because the building was always modern, and Rashid simply pushed that fact forward.
