Strassburger Ben Naïm was founded in 2020 by Daniel Strassburger and Hagaï Ben Naïm, with the vision of establishing an architectural practice that positions architecture as a central voice in Israel’s cultural discourse. Deeply engaged with Israel's social, cultural, and environmental complexities, the studio sees architecture as an integral part of culture - both shaped by it and actively shaping it.

We believe that meaningful architecture emerges from a forward-looking vision grounded in a deep respect for the past. Accordingly, every project begins with a careful study of the cultural, social, economic, statutory, and physical context in which it operates.

This approach informs a diverse body of work, ranging from cultural and public buildings to landscape and urban design, residential architecture, environmental sculpture, and theoretical research.

Our practice spans the length and breadth of Israel, drawing inspiration from its exposed landscapes - both human and physical - and the layered histories embedded within them. These elements foster a profound sense of connection to place, materiality, and culture.
