el.em studio：Beit Harishonim 是一座坐落在 Moshav Beitan Aharon 的岩石山脊上的房屋，俯瞰着 Hefer 山谷的美景。在被遗弃多年后，Hefer 山谷地区委员会决定向公众开放这座房屋。经过大规模的翻修，现在这座房屋已作为当地的文化艺术中心向人们敞开了大门。

el.em studio：Beit Harishonim house, sits on a limestone ridge in the grounds of Moshav Beitan Aharon and overlooks the views of the Hefer valley. After years of being abandoned, the Hefer valley Regional Council decided to open the house for the public and now after undergoing extensive renovation, the house has opened its doors as a local cultural and art center.

▽共建的花园 The garden

Common Ground 是一项集体行动，旨在将 Beit-harishonim 历史古宅的室外区域改造成一个耕种花园。Common Ground 不仅仅是一种形式或一个目标，更是一个过程。Common Ground 的施工过程具有包容性，在一个对所有人开放的施工现场进行，并没有将施工阶段视为客户与施工方之间的专属互动，项目结束时，花园将作为一项成果直接交付给游客享用。

通过在当地社区公开呼吁和宣传，附近的居民也加入了花园的建设过程；我们一起加固地面、浇筑混凝土长凳、种植野生植物，将整个施工过程变成了一个集体努力的过程，在这个过程中，园艺是一个持续的项目。

Common Ground Is a collective effort to transform the outdoor area of Beit-harishonim historic house into a cultivated garden. More than a form or an object, Common Ground is a process. Instead of seeing the construction stage as an exclusive client-builder interaction, at the end of which a project is delivered as an object for the visitors to enjoy, the construction process for Common Ground was inclusive and was held in an open-to-all construction site.

Using open-calls and publications to local communities, nearby residents have joined the build process; together we tightened the ground, casted concrete benches, planted wild plants, and turned the construction process into a collective effort in which gardening is an ongoing project.

花园的布局是一个浓缩的英式袖珍花园，其中有一条主路，主路又分叉为小路和隐蔽的座位区。

The layout of the garden is a condensed pocket-sized English garden with a main path which diverges into smaller paths and hidden seating areas.

每个座位区域都能观赏到附近不同的景观，同时也为定制的混凝土浇铸水磨石元素留出了空间。其中两个混凝土元素是较为私密的长凳，另一个则是一种纪念元素，代表过去的遗迹；一个倒影池，象征着 18 世纪的古老水池，它曾将水引向东坡、引向田野。新的水池为人、动物和植物之间的游戏和互动提供了可能，并将水排到西坡，供点缀房屋入口处的野生植物生长。

Each area is positioned to outlook a different view of the nearby landscape while making room for a bold custom concrete-cast terrazzo element. While the first two concrete elements are intimate benches, the third is a ghost element referring to a relic from the past; a reflection pool referring to the old 18th century water pool which led water to the eastern slope, towards the fields. The new pool makes place for a possible play and interaction between people, animals and plants and drains the water to the western slope, were wild plants will grow and serve as the entranceway to the house.

沿着花园小径种植了五棵树，可以为游客提供树荫和水果。花园中种植的几乎所有植物都是当地的野生植物，这些植物是 Hefer 山谷周边地区的特色，而少量的栽培植物则是为了实现多季节开花。

Along the garden paths, five trees were planted in order to supply shade and fruits for visitors. Almost all plants which were planted in the garden are local wild plants which characterize the surrounding area of Hefer valley, while a small number of culture plants was used to bring about multi-seasonal blossoms.

花园建成后，将不再是一个过程的最终结果，而是一个未来活动的场所，在这里，创作者、艺术家、旅行者、志愿者、建设者和园艺爱好者将齐聚一堂，共同将 Common Ground 变成一个持续的项目。

Once completed, the garden will not act as a final outcome of a process but rather a place where future events will bring together creators and artists, travelers, volunteers, builders, and gardening enthusiasts that will turn Common Ground into an ongoing project.
