The building is looking a bit tragic, but could easily be a Bauhaus building in Tel Aviv, with a shop at street level, then a flat above and a terrace on top.
Local government in Tel Aviv helped its citizens restore Bauhaus buildings of the 1932-5 era which had, like your photo, become pretty neglected by the 1990s. It would look fantastic, if it was sensitively restored.
MELBOURNE ART DECO
In 2009 Robin Grow published a book on Melbourne Art Deco, with images largely supplied by David Thompson. The book quickly sold out and he is pleased to say that it has now been re-published by Brolga Press, with updates, errors corrected and a new cover.
Best of all, it is selling for about $25 in the shops and on-line. Art Deco & Modernism Society members can purchase a copy from me for $22, (includes postage within Australia). For overseas orders please email for postage rates. Contact me at robingrow@ozemail.com.au if you are interested, and advise if you would like the book to be dedicated and/or signed.

That sounds like a great program in Tel Aviv And I'm sure has produced wonderful results.
