The House We Live in

The early Fifties
Three rooms, with one sink (a later addition), no bathroom, no loo. Well, there were the public shower room and lavatories.
The Fifties
Two wings with three rooms and one bathroom, kitchen corner and porch each, with a view to a future expansion (turning three one room flats into two 1½ room flats) that was never realised.
The roaring Sixties
A living room, bedroom, bathroom, kitchenette and porch. Another room made of reinforced concrete was added later for protection against rocket attacks, which fortunately never came.
The Seventies
You get the idea: Four flats in a row, hiding behind shrubbery.
The late Eighties
Still four in a row, but reaching for the skies with a second floor.
Take the tour of one of the flats.
The Nineties
Semi-detached, expressing how many kibbutzniks feel.
The new millenium
More of the same.
Finished after all in spite of a major financing bug.
