Each window is like a picture: a modern renovation of a house in an old colony

After 20 years of living in the same house in Zichron Yaacov, a family of five asked to redesign their living environment.

The result: modern and clean, with lots of natural light, storage solutions and plenty of style

Not what you thought: it's hard to believe it's grandparents' house

All developers have been enlarged and expanded and fitted with a minimalist black profile with an elegant division.

"We opened the windows and enlarged the openings to produce a bright and airy house, and we were able to bring the outside in," Dagan Zilberman explains.

"The dominant use of the thin and minimalist aluminum profile (aluminum star) allowed us to pinpoint the entire look and design in the various spaces of the house," she adds.

Constraints such as structural pages and a library laden with books and albums were concealed and expanded, respectively, and the disadvantages became advantages with the help of creative thinking.

The structural pillars were hidden inside carpentry work done by a carpenter-craftsman, and became a frame for display shelves and a window bench, while the small library that created visual clutter became a huge library, spanning an entire corridor, accompanying the occupants to their rooms in style and much inspiration.

"There's a stage in life where you say: it's time for a change, I can afford it."

"The house was very old-fashioned, in every way," notes Amozag. "It was closed and dark, it had glass bricks and other old-fashioned items, a bathroom that was more of a small, narrow alcove, a different internal organization and non-ideal locations," she explains. The two explain that the owner, a pair of careerist parents, never stopped to inspect the house, and only after the children had grown up and the needs had changed significantly, were they required to take action. “There is a stage in life where you say to yourself‘ this is the time for change, I can afford it, ’” Amozag adds.

The amazing makeover includes a bright and open house, with windows divided by thin profiles, in an elegant, pleasant and homely way;

A cozy and intimate family room, with a TV and a glass door with more fascinating mirrors than on the screen, overlooking a spacious garden;

Extensive and spectacular guest services, like in a European hotel, and even landscape design that will present a perfect perimeter garden, which will adorn the new developers and the openness to the outside.

The two say that the new windows have made the design of the landscape a "mast", to reflect an inviting look outside, which will become an integral part of the home spaces.

The two say that they preferred to make an elegant division in the windows, which would create a more homely and intimate look, than to present a spacious and completely exposed window.

A deliberate choice in a divided mirror, over a completely exposed window.

The carpentry items throughout the house were 'sewn' to his measurements and made of the same oak.

The color palette chosen for the project is monochromatic, with slight flickers of bright colors, like dark blue and electrifying in the kitchen, black chairs and antique pink bar stools, and lots of oak incorporated into the home spaces and carpentry items, for warmth and a sense of comfort.

The floor covering chosen is large tiles of 1.2 / 1.2 meters, in a shade of gray, reminiscent of concrete.

The walls, as in any other project of the two, remained bright and clean.

"We really like this background, even though we dared in the kitchen, and we really like the natural lines that are embodied in all the carpentry that was 'sewn' at home: in the kitchen, at the entrance, on the bench," explains Amozag.

Natural lines.

The carpentry work makes extensive use, as mentioned, of natural oak cladding.

"It was very important for us not to make tint adjustments, but to use the same wood to create the niches inside the carpentry work, the stair cladding, the siding and the drawer unit at the entrance to the house, the bench for the window.

The entrance cabinet has been carefully designed and engineered.

It is large in size and contains all the items of the household members, prevents them from scattering in a mess around the house, and also cleverly hides the electricity and communication of the house, and offers them easy access.

"It's an innocent-looking closet," laughs Amozag, "but it just hides everything in style, and in addition is very ventilated. In its lower cellar there are grooves of returning air and above it a recessed LED strip of flattering lighting."

A striking example of appearance, without driving the eyes crazy.

Another unique element is in the stair tiles: these were made to custom and unique order from a ceramic artist who lives nearby, and the designers asked her to increase the resolution of the printed mold so that it would be noticeable, on the one hand, and on the other hand not "drive the eyes crazy".

These were cut and embedded in the "rum" part of the stairs, which is the vertical side of the sidewalks, which are covered with natural oak - and the combination created a wonderful and spectacular-looking duet.

The top floor was slightly extended in favor of a more spacious bedroom for one of the children.

The highlight on the bedroom floor is, without a doubt, the designed library.

This has been transformed from a small library located next to the master bedroom into a huge library, which will suit the character of the tenants, the book lovers.

“We took the inspiration from the original, and turned a small library into something really central,” Amozag describes.

"They are people of books. They have a lot of books and albums. And accordingly, we took the idea and created an entire wall of a library. In fact, the whole hallway is one big library that the doors of the rooms 'fit' into and fit into. ", She explains.

An opaque door at the end of the corridor became an elegant glass door fixed in a Belgian profile.

This “slight” change helped to visually open up and bring plenty of natural light into the enclosed space.

A similar thing was done in the family room that was added to the house.

The TV was excluded from the living room and moved to this room, which is a quiet corner for anyone who wants to watch it.

The highlight in this corner is the glass walls in it.

One separates it from the living room and the other divides it from the outside, washing it with light.

"We added preparation for an electric curtain for the benefit of light dimming and privacy," adds Amozag.
