"At our first meeting, I could not ignore the powerful urban landscape that permeates every corner of the house. I encouraged them to try and create an island of quiet, gentle and precise within a noisy and bustling central area," the designer explains.
The color scheme has been carefully selected in soft monochromatic shades with touches of refreshing pastel colors.
It was important to keep the house clean and minimalist so that it reflected the character of the customers.
Much attention was given to the materials, colors, textures and of course to the art that was gently integrated into the space.
"First, we approached the work of planning and execution: we changed the central space according to customer needs. The kitchen was enlarged at the expense of additional toilets that were on the entrance floor, the original staircase was removed, and replaced with light stairs combined with black iron and wood. "120 in a light shade, which will contribute to the feeling of space in the public space, while the rooms are covered with natural oak parquet for a warm and pleasant look. The carpentry has also been carefully designed to provide a functional solution for storage, along with an impressive aesthetic," the designer explained.

The kitchen was designed in the form of two parallel lines, in a light shade combined with oak with blackened grooves.
The selected marble was installed both as a work surface and as a wall cladding, and oak shelves were mounted on it.
A dominant black wall is located at the entrance of the house in front of the white kitchen, providing a complete contrast that contributes to the drama in the space.
A dark minimalist brushed gold light fixture is installed on the dark wall.
The original plan of the apartment had a utility balcony for a washer and dryer.
However, in order to insert the window into the kitchen and to allow a greater sense of space, it was decided to break the wall between the utility balcony and the kitchen.
"Instead, we designed a specific cabinet for a washer and dryer, which includes vents and a place to store detergents. Breaking the wall extended the kitchen and added more air to the public space," Levy explains.
The children's rooms were designed and dressed according to the design vision of the whole house.

The purpose of the design was to create lightness and space and provide as many storage solutions as possible for a clean and airy look.
For the same reason the chosen color is light and calm, both inside and outside the house - on the balconies that surround it.
The dining area is located right next to the display case so you can enjoy the vegetation, the breeze and the view of the small balcony.
" Natural oak and light transparent curtains hung on the windows, which soften the space, and at the end of the stairs there is a kind of foyer with a carpentry wall that is used to further store the occupants of the house.
