The House of Grace

This is an existing old church in downtown Haifa. The House of Grace is involved in broad social work activities, by helping homeless people, drug addicts and rehabilitation of ex-convicts, along with its regular religious services.
It is the life work of the late Mr. Kamil Shhadee and his wife, Mrs. Agnes Shhadee, who now leads the place by herself.
The proposed project, together with the old church, defines a courtyard which is part of a sequence of courtyards and pedestrian walkways, which integrate the site with an existing modern commercial site.
The project includes a variety of social work activities and treatment rooms, dwelling rooms for its tenants in four stories and a large underground multipurpose hall.
