Tel Aviv architects Keren Avni, Leeat Ainhorn and Carmit Harnik won a conceptual design competition for the new hub of local artistry. [Formerly industrial hangars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tengbom), the space is now a thriving artistic space. Located in the south of Tel Aviv, the art centre consists of eight studios for artists in residence, a communal office/living area in addition to a 656 square foot [flexible gallery space](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nomad-abu-dhabi). The area between hangars is utilized for exterior showcases. It is also opened to the public as a pathway for outdoor art related activities.
