When the couple purchased the duplex apartment in the neighborhood in North Tel Aviv, they decided together with interior designer Gili Reshef-Gol from ART OF SPACE studio, to carry out a thorough renovation even though it was an apartment in a building less than ten years old.
"We decided to shave the apartment to a skeletal level and plan and redesign it," says the designer.
"We started the process from the acquisition stage and then we progressed to a long process of sketching, planning and selecting materials that lasted along with the renovation nearly two years."

The family members knew exactly what they wanted, a fact that according to Reshef-Gol makes the work fun, but also challenging: .
The renovation, as mentioned, included a fundamental change to the apartment, both in terms of planning and design.
In the original apartment the entrance floor included the public space with a living room, kitchen and guest toilet next to the master suite and the top floor included two children's rooms connected to a storage room and a bathroom. The family wanted to redesign the apartment Separate the children's rooms and create family and work corners.

To adapt the apartment to the needs of the customers, the top floor that was a gallery floor was expanded so that enough space was created to accommodate a luxurious master bedroom, three children's rooms, a shared bathroom and a work area.
When you enter the apartment you can easily notice the design style that dominates it, which combines black and white with natural colors of wood.
Immediately after passing through the front door, the public space, which includes the living room and dining area, is spread out in front of us, with a balcony around them that surrounds the floor, which is visible through the large openings covered with long white curtains.
The design style immediately catches the eye and is very clear - combinations of black and white with wood.

The living room has a seating system with a gray upholstery and a black metal frame in clean lines, which corresponds with a pair of matching living room tables in different heights and with white upper surfaces and black iron legs.
Below the living room is a very large carpet in a light brown shade, which warms up a bit the clean and monochromatic look of the entire living room.
The TV screen is recessed inside a storage unit painted white and integrates with the wall.
This unit also stores the smart electrical systems installed in the apartment and include, among other things, a smart home system, lighting scenarios, a video and audio system and more.

Next to the living room is the dining area consisting of a table made of light wood and black chairs.
The designer placed a black metal shelving unit next to the dining area, which is combined with a net and on which various decorative items are placed.
The same rim of metal mesh continues to the stair railing that stands nearby and leads to the floor of the private rooms.
"The element of the staircase combined with the storage unit conveys a lot of confidence, gives character to the space and aids in its division and flow," the designer adds.

In a separate space on the floor is a kitchen built in the shape of an H and shining in its whiteness.
The kitchen has been adapted to the needs of the family and it provides many storage solutions, however its main wall is free and clean of cabinets and covered with Carrera-like porcelain granite tiles that climb from the marble to the ceiling.
The resulting look is of a bright but dominant power wall, which catches the eye and draws the gaze upwards.
Further down the hall were a utility room and a guest toilet.
As part of the new design for the apartment, it was decided that a wide shower that will be used by the children will be installed in the guest bathroom.
The entire floor of the house is covered with light oak parquet that heats the various spaces and forms a uniform and warm background for the furniture items.

As you go up the stairs to the top floor you come to a foyer that includes a work area and storage cabinets.
As part of the planning challenge, the designer had to deal with the fact that there is no window in the master suite.
The solution to this is to place a glass wall with a sliding door from the floor to the ceiling that connects the room to the bathroom, where there is a window, and lets in the light from it.
The bathroom floor is covered with hexagonal white tiles while the walls are covered with marble-like porcelain granite tiles, combined with black plumbing and blacksmithing fittings and natural wood carpentry.
