David Tachman Architects proposes a new innovative tower concept called ''The Gran Mediterraneo'', is a new high-rise that integrates a public automated car-park, operates as the first induction charging station for public and shared electric driverless vehicles in the city (future 'sherut') of Tel Aviv, Israel.

The project is comprised of various programs of vertical living: residential apartments and hotel, bars and restaurants, farming and public gardens, swimming pools and dead sea spas, co-working spaces for offices and start-ups, educational and events spaces.

The tower's innovative concept is also derived from its topological geometry giving a spiral effect to the high-rise, the Gran Mediterraneo breaks with the global and usual stacking of horizontal slabs wrapped with mirrored glass, aiming to renew Tel Aviv skyline with a 'Unesco proclaimed white city' specific vertical architecture. To be built with white concrete, using the latest construction and digital technologies, the curvy high-rise is filled with mediterranean and dead sea natures.
