Moshe Margalith Architects & Urban Planners

What Moshe Margalith Architects & Urban Planners does

Moshe Margalith Architects & Urban Planners Ltd. is a Jerusalem-based architecture and urban planning firm founded in 1979 by Prof. Moshe Margalith. The firm operates with a stated team of 12 architects and delivers integrated professional services spanning urban planning, urban design, landscape architecture, architecture, interior design, and custom furniture design. It serves government and municipal agencies, religious and educational foundations, healthcare institutions, and large corporations across Israel and selected international markets, with project locations including Jerusalem, Acre, Tel Aviv-Jaffa, Eilat, Paphos (Cyprus), Uman (Ukraine), and Crete (Greece). The portfolio includes signature projects such as the St. George Compound for the Anglican Church (40,000 m² site with 160,000 m² planned development), the Neapolis Eco-City master plan in Cyprus (4,000 residential units, 70,000 m² built area), The Seam & Road No. 1 in Jerusalem (2 km, 400,000 m² urban plan), the Be'er Sheva 2020 Master Plan for the Land Administration Authority, and a 2025 commission from the Bedouin Authority for four Negev neighborhoods.

The firm's underlying technology and methodology is rooted in conventional architecture and urban planning practice — integrating planning, landscape, architecture, and interior/furniture design under a single practice — rather than proprietary software or digital platforms. No AI/ML capabilities, APIs, or technology integrations are disclosed. Notable technical differentiator claimed is the firm's integrated design approach across disciplines, particularly in historically and politically sensitive urban fabrics (Jerusalem, Acre, Old City contexts). The firm operates as a privately held Israeli limited company with no external investors, funding rounds, parent company, or subsidiaries identified; ownership and leadership are concentrated in Prof. Moshe Margalith, who combines practice with academic leadership (head of the Tel Aviv Institute for Study and Research of Architecture: Environment, Culture and Community, and the UNESCO Chair on Modern Heritage; former head of the Azrieli School of Architecture at Tel Aviv University). Revenue is generated through project-based professional service fees on custom architecture and urban planning engagements; pricing is not publicly disclosed.
