Ben Halevi

BA Architecture
Ben grew up in Tel-Aviv by the University, and studied in Alliance Francais and was a keen athlete. After the service in the IDF within the Intelligence force he read science at the Tel Aviv University until he decided to read maps instead and headed to tour Europe, Asia and Australia.

Architecture studies began at the Sadna in Tel-Aviv (which had close relationship with the AA Bartlett and Sci-Arc). His summer jobs were on building sites as an electrician within hospitals and large industrial installations. His first design job was with a rising star of Israeli architecture, Haim Dotan. The army was a walk in the park compared to 60 hours a week but never as fulfilling. The next stop was the UK – to complete the studies. After getting his BA from UEL, he joined EAA international where he worked on a large hotel projects and was introduced to the ‘complete’ design – interiors. His Diploma with Honour from University of Greenwich was with a strong emphasis on sustainable architecture.

Ben was always keen on how technology progresses the profession and developed the CAD and IT within the practices, this speciality offered a managerial role within Richmond International which also operates within the luxury hotel interiors. At EPR Ben was involved in hotel projects and in ‘Cardinal Place’ (£170M) producing the prominent roof package.
After leaving EPR Ben joined forces with Ilan and became his right-hand man. Two decades later, their collaboration remains strong, a partnership built on shared values, complementary skills, and each pursuing a ball in a court.

Over the years, Ben has led and contributed to a wide range of projects, including hotels, private homes, large-scale conversions, listed buildings, office developments, and charitable initiatives. His work reflects a deep understanding of both the creative and practical aspects, with a consistent emphasis on thoughtful, sustainable design.
Ben is known for cultivating long-term relationships with clients, developers and consultants, and for securing significant planning gains through direct negotiations with local councils. Sustainability has always been central to his approach, often extending to socially driven projects and community-focused design.

Ben is a family man with a broad range of interests and uses his creativity to give new lives to discarded objects.
