Israel's biggest construction project of the last decades.

The very first metro line of Tel Aviv. The city center’s main station, Elifelet, is located along a 19th-century train line which used to go from Jaffa to Damascus and all the way up to Istanbul.
The new station will feature a roof made of 37 ‘ribs’ made of sail fabric. During the day, the sails allow natural light to pass through to the station below, while during the night, each sail individually lit will create a spectacular canopy of light to act as the station’s main indirect light source while providing a stunning visual to all of the city’s numerous high rises in the distance.
