They turned to Dorit Sela, who owns an office for architecture and interior design that specializes in planning and designing luxury apartments and private homes.
The relationship between her and the family is many years and this is the fifth house she is planning for them.
"The apartment has undergone a far-reaching planning change in order to produce an optimal flow, a development that is as wide as possible towards the sea and a good definition between the public and the private," Sela explains.

But to start the change it was necessary to move the position of the front door, which turned out to be not simple at all, especially bureaucratically.
"We took an unusual procedure in which we changed the location of the front door subject to the approvals of all the required parties. The concrete walls were sawed off, the front door moved and as a result the central space was opened," Sela explains.

The public space of the living room and kitchen was almost hermetically separated from the bedrooms, says Sela: "I designed an optimal and hermetic separation between the public and private with the help of an architectural wall that is a power wall made of teak profiles and metal panels. "Embedded doors, some of which are sliding doors, through which you can move to the bedrooms and guest toilets, and one of them is the front of a storage closet and coats."

In order to break the straight mass, Sela chose to combine curved and rounded items that soften the space, such as the chairs in the dining area, the sofa in the living room and the Bubble Sofa located in the family corner.
She also chose to combine monochromatic colors with warm elements and textures that together enrich the space and add layers and layers.
For example, in front of the straight kitchen, which is designed and designed in sharp and clean ultra-modern lines and a canopy in a two-color nano-resistant form, the leather sofa upholstered in natural leather in a deep and rich brown shade stands out.

The terrace overlooking the wild view of the beach almost uninterrupted is used by the family frequently, and it is easy to see why.
Sela chose to combine it with light and soft colors and shades that give a place of respect to the landscape.
In order to create an optimal separation between the apartment and the neighbors, she chose to replace the existing glass wall in the balcony with an iron construction on which a well-kept and impressive green wall will be planted.

The private space is designed so that each member of the house gets their own intimacy and living space.
In the hallway, Sela designed a minimalist TV corner for them, in the center of which is the deep, luxurious and iconic Babel sofa designed by the Serbian-French designer Sasha Lekik, upholstered in three-dimensional jersey fabric.
On the wall hung a narrow TV screen that was almost assimilated and allowed a clean passage.

The couple's master suite is large and bright and has been carefully designed to make the most of the space.
Its area is over 30 square meters and in the center is an impressive FREE STANDING bed, detached from the wall in order to gain additional storage space. The wardrobe is hidden behind detective glass doors, which when turned on the lights become almost completely transparent.

In the couple's bathroom, a rock combined stone flooring and parquet laid out diagonally to create a perspective of size and conceptually expand the hallway area.
For the bathroom she chose clean and minimalist materials like corian used for the shower cabinet and sink surface and a smoky look that covers the cupboard drawers.
