Scattered among the moshavim of the Sharon region are agricultural landscapes, historic buildings, and points of interest, yet the connections between them remain largely unnoticed. The project proposes to unite these elements into a cohesive network through cycling trails, cultural hubs, interpretive stations, and hospitality facilities, transforming the journey itself into an integral part of the experience. At the heart of this network, in the town of Tel Mond, stands Villa Ziv – a site of historical significance that is transformed from a closed-off building into a public destination for culture, hospitality, and accommodation, while preserving its story and making it accessible to the wider public. Around the villa and throughout the surrounding moshavim, a network of destinations and experiences emerges, inviting visitors to pause, cycle, wander, and discover the Sharon region from a new perspective. The project aims to encourage local tourism in an area not yet recognized as a destination in its own right, while strengthening the connections between agriculture, heritage, community, and landscape. Together, these elements create a continuous tapestry of places, stories, and people, offering a slow-paced, cultural, and deeply local visitor experience.
