Lothan Architects

What Lothan Architects does

Lothan Daitch Architects (לוטן דייטש אדריכלים) is a privately held, second-generation architectural practice founded in 1952 in Tel Aviv by Israel Lothan, and currently managed by his son Rami Lothan alongside partner Dov Daitch. The firm employs a team of 22 architects plus engineering technicians, drawing from Israel's leading architecture schools (Technion, Bezalel, Tel Aviv University, Ariel University, Shenkar). Its work is organized across six service verticals: Academy and Public Buildings, Residential, Research and Educational Laboratories, Architectural Competitions, Interior Design, and Commercial and Industrial facilities. The firm employs BIM (Building Information Modeling) methodology as its core technical approach, enabling coordinated design across architecture, construction, and engineering systems, and extending into post-completion maintenance support.

The firm's client base spans marquee Israeli institutional and corporate accounts including Wix, Samsung, the Weizmann Institute of Science, Ben-Gurion University of the Negev, Tel Aviv-Yafo Municipality, Israel Electric Corporation, Bank Hapoalim, Kaplan Medical Center, Mekorot, and Varonis. Revenue is generated through professional services fees — typically structured as a percentage of construction cost or fixed project fees — earned via direct commissions, architectural competition wins, and client referrals. Notable competition victories include Yad la-Banim Tel Aviv, Kiryon and Rimon neighborhood (Kiryat Ono), Rabin Square and Nordia neighborhood (Tel Aviv), Wohlin Hall, and Soldiers House Haifa. The firm also maintains selective international exposure via competition entries for projects such as the Panama City Museum and Milan Expo pavilion.

Commercially, the firm operates an enterprise field-sales model led by principals, with no external institutional investors, no subsidiaries, no public listing, and no disclosed funding events. Marketing channels consist of a structured website portfolio (lotarc.com), Facebook and Instagram presence, and earned media in Israeli outlets. The practice remains family-controlled, Israel-domiciled, and focused on the domestic market with occasional international competition participation.
