After the sensational discovery, she and her husband decided to dig, uncover the floor and use the space wisely.
They hired interior designer Ariela Azaria Berkowitz, who specializes in designing apartments and luxury homes.
She was able to create for them and their four teenage sons an experiential living space in a classic Anglo-French fusion style for which CUSTOM MADE designed every detail - from the wall coverings, furniture and even specially designed lighting fixtures.

"This is a space of about 100 square meters," explains Azaria Berkowitz. "During the excavations, an entrance was discovered through the courtyard, but as stated, no entrance from the house itself was planned for it.
After we took and analyzed the plans we created for him an internal entrance in the hallway area so that the family members could go down to it directly.
The couple wanted to create an especially pampering, entertaining and entertaining space for themselves and their sons. "

Indeed, it is difficult to remain indifferent to the luxuries and luxurious and meticulous design that characterize the underground space at the end of the process.
The open space houses a number of functions including a living area with a fully equipped bar, a cinema room and a luxurious pool table designed and styled to perfectly match the color palette and style of the space.

"I chose to create a dramatic atmosphere on the border of the theatrical space, in order to enhance the experience and make the space different and unique. I focused on every detail and each one was sewn precisely and with reference to the whole," explains the designer.
"For example, great emphasis was placed on cladding some of the walls with complex carpentry work, while other walls were lined with velvet rhombuses. The floor throughout the space is three-layer oak parquet and the brick cladding was composed of bricks from dismantling."

The professional pool table was painted in a matching color and the top surface was replaced with an orange shade that exactly matches the colors of the seating systems.
"Because I did not find exactly suitable lighting fixtures, I chose to design new fixtures made by a craftsman from metal and crystal. The lighting fixtures connect well to wood and velvet and in general, to the noble and stylish space," says Berkowitz.

In the center of the room, a well-equipped drinks bar has been designed, which also includes wine refrigerators and everything needed for perfect hospitality.
According to the designer, "this creates an airy and spacious family area designed for everyone - while the children watch the movie, their parents can host friends for a drink and a fine cigar."
