The hosh, one of the largest and most densely populated residential complexes in the old city, is home for 9 families (82 residents). Most of its parts suffered from severe physical and environmental problems, lack of services, ventilation and sanitation.

The project, completed in 2002, comprised restoration of the historic parts, and replacement of inappropriate extensions added by the residents with light, safe structures compatible with the historic context of the complex. The project also included complete rehabilitation and upgrading of infrastructure and landscaping of large empty areas which were meticulously designed to allow families to enjoy the open space and an amenity rare in the Old City.
