Chapter 01

Brand

What ALBA is, what it holds to and who it is for, in the words the project uses itself.

  1. 01.1Positioning
  2. 01.2Values
  3. 01.3Audience
  4. 01.4In one sentence

01.1Positioning

One paragraph. Use it as written in press material, the sales book and introductions.

ALBA Residences is a building of forty-two homes on Rothschild Boulevard, in the White City of Tel Aviv. Eighteen floors of white render, glass and grey limestone continue the lines of the street: curved balconies, long bands of glass, a building raised on columns over a garden. The identity takes its form from the entrance arch and carries the project from the site hoarding to the day the keys are handed over, in 2028.

01.2Values

Three values. Each is a decision about the building, not a slogan.

  1. 01

    Light

    White render, deep terraces, rooms that face south and west.

  2. 02

    Proportion

    Every measure comes from the arch, from the logo to the signs on each floor.

  3. 03

    Quiet

    A building that joins the street rather than competing with it.

01.3Audience

Who ALBA speaks to, and what they expect from a developer.

Who
Buyers of a first or final home in the centre of Tel Aviv; families returning from abroad; people who know the boulevard and want to stay on it.
What they expect
Plans, areas and dates, early and accurate.
Where they meet us
The hoarding on the boulevard, the website, the sales gallery by appointment.
What they do not want
Pressure, vague promises, or renders that hide what is being built.

01.4The brand in one sentence

For the first line of a press release, the hoarding or the sales book.

ALBA in one sentence

ALBA is forty-two homes on Rothschild Boulevard, built in the white, curved language of the street.

Chapter 02

Voice & tone

ALBA speaks like a good architect presenting a plan: calmly, in measurements, and only about what will be built.

  1. 02.1Principles
  2. 02.2Tone by context
  3. 02.3House style

02.1Principles

Four principles, each with a line to use and a line to avoid.

  1. 01

    Lead with the place

    Where comes first: the street, the city, the view.

    Do

    42 residences on Rothschild Boulevard, Tel Aviv.

    Don’t

    Luxury living redefined in the heart of the city.
  2. 02

    Measurements, not superlatives

    Give the number and let it do the work.

    Do

    A 28 sqm terrace facing west.

    Don’t

    Breathtaking, unparalleled views.
  3. 03

    Say what happens next

    Every message ends with one clear step.

    Do

    Register interest and we will send the floor plans and the price list.

    Don’t

    Act now — only a few units left!
  4. 04

    Respect the street

    The building joins a street with a history; the words should too.

    Do

    The balconies turn the corner in a single radius, as they do on the 1930s houses around it.

    Don’t

    An iconic statement tower that stands above the rest.

02.2Tone by context

The voice stays the same; the register moves a little with the medium.

The building

Eighteen floors on the boulevard

We are building eighteen floors of white render, glass and grey limestone on the boulevard. The lines come from the houses of the White City around it: curved balconies, long bands of glass, a building raised on columns over a garden.

Inside there are forty-two residences, each with a terrace, and a pool on the roof.

Chapter 07

Photography

Architecture photographed as it is: hard daylight, straight lines, white walls. The building is the subject; people pass through it.

  1. 07.1Principles
  2. 07.2Selects
  3. 07.3Not us

07.1Principles

Three decisions to make before every shoot or visualisation.

  1. 01

    Light

    Hard Mediterranean daylight, deep shade, a clean sky. No HDR, no orange sunsets.

  2. 02

    Lines

    Verticals straight, horizons level, shot from the height of a person.

  3. 03

    Composition

    One curve, one room, one view. People small and walking, never posing.

07.2Selects

Approved images from the current library. Visualisations are always labelled as such.

ViewThe only dusk image: the city lit, the sky not pushed.

07.3Not us

Three things the photography never does.

  • Stock lifestyle

    Families toasting on a balcony belong to someone else’s campaign.

  • Leaning verticals

    Wide lenses that make the tower fall backwards.

  • HDR and invented skies

    Glowing edges, orange sunsets, clouds that were never there.

Signage

One family from the street to the front door: the site hoarding, the entrance lockup, the floor signs in each lift lobby and the numbers on the doors.

Motion

Things arrive slowly and stop softly, like a door on a good hinge. One curve, a narrow range of durations, short distances.

  1. 11.1Principles
  2. 11.2The curve
  3. 11.3Logo and page

11.1Principles

The rules behind every movement on screen.

  1. 01

    One curve

    cubic-bezier(.22, .61, .36, 1) for everything that enters. Nothing bounces, nothing overshoots.

  2. 02

    0.6 to 1.4 seconds

    Short for controls, long for images and the logo. Never faster than 300 ms.

  3. 03

    Rise, never slide

    Elements rise 16 to 24 px as they fade in; images open like a window, from the bottom up.

11.2The curve

Fast out of the start, long and quiet into the stop. Compare it with a straight line.
