In 2017, we promised our new clients that we knew how to create a “gradient wall”—one that begins as a solid surface and gradually fades until it disappears into the air.

In hindsight, we made that promise rather quickly, without realizing where the journey would take us.

Why fade a wall at all?

We wanted to increase privacy from the neighboring property while still allowing abundant daylight to reach the basement level. A fading wall seemed like the perfect solution to achieve both.

During the months and years that followed, we invested hundreds of hours in developing the system. Translating the idea into a feasible budget proved almost impossible. We also discovered that although physics and Photoshop both begin with the letter P, that is where the similarity ends.

Most of all, there were moments when we were afraid that we might not be able to meet the challenge or fulfill our promise.

The first full-scale model was unstable. The second was too heavy. The third exceeded the budget. The fourth—well, you get the picture.

It was neither easy nor simple.

In August 2022, we were finally able to breathe, wipe away the sweat, and look at the completed wall. By the end of that summer, it stood exactly as we had imagined it—gradually fading into the sky.

ב־2017 הבטחנו ללקוחות שנדע ליצור "קיר מדורג" - קיר שמתחיל כמשטח אטום ובהדרגה מתפוגג עד שהוא נעלם באוויר. בדיעבד, ההבטחה ניתנה לפני שהבנו עד כמה מורכב יהיה לממש אותה.

המטרה הייתה להגדיל את הפרטיות מול המגרש השכן, מבלי לחסום את האור הטבעי המגיע למפלס המרתף. במשך שנים פותחה המערכת באמצעות אינספור ניסויים, דגמים והתאמות, עד שנמצא פתרון יציב, ישים ומתאים לתקציב.

בקיץ 2022 הושלם הקיר. לאחר מסע ארוך, הוא עמד בדיוק כפי שדמיינו - הולך ונעלם בהדרגה אל תוך השמיים.
