The house built itself gradually.

"The owners wanted to create a warm, enveloping and yet clean home. The unique style was simply created while working on the house. It was clear that they did not want something too rustic and yet not too modern. We knew they wanted color, but not bold and childish," says Meir about the concept. The design that guided it.



Indeed, she said, the house gradually "built itself".

From the possible changes in the interior divisions, where she chose to enhance and emphasize the kitchen and the covered balcony at the exit from it, through the choice of flooring and sanitation that dictated warm direction to the details of carpentry, furniture and fittings that completed the picture.

"At each stage, we referred to the previous stage and added another tier, another choice, more significant items," says Meir.

The basic flooring allows the furniture and fittings to stand out.

The main challenge in this project, she says, was the understanding - mainly of the customers, that it was in fact a contractor's apartment, or in this case a "contractor's house".

"In projects of this type, there is a significant limitation on the changes that can be made to the model, and there is no doubt that it is sometimes frustrating to invest quite a bit in details that you would have planned differently in the first place if only you had been given the opportunity."



Meir decided together with her clients to set out and try to find the unique place of the family from the given standard already at the home design stage, and this paved the way for the late choices of dressing and styling of the various spaces.

A thin line that runs between the private and the public.

"In this place of life in the kibbutz, there is a thin line that runs between the private and the public. There is a strong desire to be an independent individual within a cooperative community. We have walked this line throughout the process," the designer explains.

The house from the outside radiates simplicity and suits the nature of life in the kibbutz, it allows space and oscillation between the outside and the inside.

But as soon as you enter it, you discover a different world, private and individual.



For the public space - the living room, the dining area and the kitchen, porcelain granite flooring in a shade of gray with 80/80 size tiles was chosen.

The basic flooring is a comfortable substrate for all those delicate shades that are placed on it with furniture and fittings and allow them to stand out.

In the rooms, on the other hand, dark and warm oak parquet was laid, to create a feeling of intimacy.

The bathrooms are tiled with delicate illustrated tiles and with basic and minimalist wall coverings, to avoid overload.

The carpentry adapted to them fit into the space in harmony and emphasize the free of the painted tiles.

The color palette that is repeated throughout the house is of shades of green.

"We started with aluminum and smoky green front door, we continued to a khaki-light stone shade in the kitchen that is accentuated with classic black-and-white and dark khaki ceramics in the shower floor that is balanced with wood and cream colors in the carpentry details," explains the designer.



Meir chose to balance the greens with the help of complementary and emphasizing shades of antique pink, natural wood and black, which are reflected in the details of the carpentry, handles and wall fittings.

Meir has a unique and original approach to working on every home she designs.

She tends to choose a song that will describe the project and get caught up in its uniqueness and the story of the people who will eventually live in it.

"Every house is a song. Usually the song is chosen by, during the process. It can be something I heard in the planning stage or in the final stages. It always hits a bull in the story, in the people."

In this case, the landlady offered the song - "Sky" by the late Yigal Bashan. "The moment the landlady offered the song" Sky "was the most exciting and accurate.

We felt they wrote the house for us and connected to every word, to every sentence. It started with the amazing artist who created the song we all loved and wanted to commemorate. It continued with the story of the boy who returns and builds a house where he grew up.

Who wants to educate his children on the ground on which the story of his life was created.

A child who has grown up and chooses a place he knows even if he remembers imperfect moments from his past.

I feel that the name of the sky is his and now they are becoming theirs. "
