Hanan Peretz Architecture is a Tel Aviv - based architecture and urban design practice working across scales - from private and residential architecture to public projects, urban renewal, preservation, urban design, and architectural lighting.

The practice is led by Dr. Hanan Peretz, architect, urban planner, lighting designer, researcher, and lecturer. He holds an M.Sc. in Architectural Lighting Design from KTH Royal Institute of Technology in Stockholm and a PhD from the European Graduate School (EGS) in Switzerland. He is a faculty member at the School of Architecture at Ariel University, where his teaching and research intersect with his professional practice.

A Place is a System


A place is a system.
It is never just a building, nor simply a plan.
 
It is an intersection of regulation, community, material, light, time, and culture - a system of layers operating simultaneously.
When these layers lack hierarchy, complexity becomes difficult to navigate.
When they are synchronized, clarity emerges.
 
My work focuses on calibrating complex systems of place.
I have always been drawn to connections.
I identify tensions beneath the surface and see how different layers meet - even when they do not necessarily speak to one another.

Architecture gave me a language for something that had always been intuitive:
Light and material.
People and space.
Context and form.
Community and planning.
 
Over time, one understanding became increasingly clear:
Complexity is not the problem.
Chaos is.
 
My work does not seek to simplify complexity.
It seeks to calibrate it.
Connecting the dots within complexity.
Synchronizing layers.
Defining focal points.
Establishing hierarchies that allow a place to evolve and endure over time.
 
Light is an integral part of this approach.
It is not merely a technical tool, but a value-based choice.
Light determines what becomes visible and what remains in the background. It establishes hierarchy, shapes perception, and gives meaning to space.

I work across scales - urban policy, complex public projects, urban renewal, preservation, architectural and urban lighting, commercial environments, and private residences.


The core is not the typology.
The core is the place.


In every project, regardless of scale, the ambition is not simply to create form, but to create the conditions through which values, culture, and human experience can find light, form, and place.


Connecting the Dots.
