Renewal of the Rehabilitation Center for Deaf and Hard of Hearing Children
The Beit Micha building in Tel Aviv, inaugurated in 1973, serves as a multidisciplinary center for the treatment, rehabilitation, and support of infants and children who are deaf or hard of hearing. As the building approached its 50th anniversary, the need arose to adapt the aging facility, with its complex form, to contemporary standards of care, accessibility, and function. The renovation was guided by the association's vision of providing children not only with professional therapeutic support, but also with a physical environment that supports growth, development, and the rehabilitation process. The project included a comprehensive renewal of the building, with an emphasis on spaces that encourage learning, interaction, and daily therapeutic activity. Acoustics were a central design consideration, alongside the upgrading of building systems and full accessibility. The interior is characterized by clean forms, light and durable materials, and a restrained palette of pastel tones and natural wood. Together, these create a calm and focused environment suited to the needs of children, families, and staff.
