"The customers wanted a spacious and cozy house, not eye-popping, in a clean and modern style, to be practical and bright. A house that felt adapted to the kibbutz character and their character. Both were very important thermal aspect of the house and we decided Wall and walls consisting of many layers of insulation) and we will invest in quality and insulated windows, "says Sivan Yatom, an architect and interior designer who believes in the design of the house.



The decision on the style of lightweight construction and the investment in wooden windows (Ultrax) has bitten a significant portion of the construction budget.

Thus, Yatom created a simple space plan, with a clear separation between the public and private areas and a clear movement scheme in space.

The program takes into account the winds of the sky, utilizes the wind regime to maximize natural ventilation and light entry, and also provides a solution for proper shading from the strong Israeli sun.

The view facing the olive grove is the focal point of the house and what dictated the planning axis of the spaces.

The strength of the plot is the adjacent olive grove, and the house was designed accordingly: the facade facing the street and parking lot, contains the service areas of the house (bathing and laundry).

While the entrance is located on the side of the house, so that the central inner space faces the view of the olive grove bordering the plot to the south.



The design style chosen for the house is modern with Nordic touches.

The natural concrete floor tiles and the black wooden windows formed the design basis for choosing the kitchen.

The kitchen cabinets are made of wood veneer and combine a light high cabinet wall with an open corner that allows a display of ornaments, and a dramatic black decton surface.

The dining table was built by the tenants from a large pine wood stove with iron legs.

"I am always happy to meet customers with a well-developed aesthetic sense and good hands who like to renovate old furniture or build new furniture from available and cheap materials," says Yatom.

The chairs around the table were collected second hand and also renovated with loving hands.

In place of the coat closet that will be installed later, a niche was painted at the entrance to the house in a light pink shade, and inside it were hung wooden hangers for bags and a wooden bench for shoes was placed.

The living room furniture moved with the tenants from their previous apartment and was upgraded by a rich rug spread out underneath.



The space is steeped in the artefacts of the homeowners that give a lot of special character.

Also prominent is a single concrete wall, which is the wall of the security room, which was given a place of honor in the space. The cast concrete remained as cast, rough and authentic, and was emphasized with the help of two lighting fixtures.

The master suite is paved with warm parquet and elegantly decorated with a wall at the back of the bed painted in a light pink hue.

The entrance to the bathroom is through a simple and beautiful barn door, inside which is a bathroom dresser designed in a vintage style.

The floor and wall were covered with relatively inexpensive tiles that got a design twist thanks to a diagonal layout in the shower.

The shades chosen for the master suite - dark blue, gray, white and light pink retain the Nordic design style of the house.

This color scheme is also present in the guest bathroom, where we chose smoky blue-colored rectangular tiles that were laid out in a fishpond layout, and climb from the floor of the room to the wall and blend in great with the wood shelf of the sink and black window.

In the (future) children's bathroom, vintage-style illustrated tiles in a black-and-white hue were chosen.

Here, too, a nostalgic-style bathroom dresser has been adapted that gives warmth to the bright room.



"The architectural work, which I enjoy so much, of designing a family home, choosing all the design and practical elements that make up the house and accompanying the execution through all stages of construction, is work through continuous dialogue with homeowners. My dialogue with clients was pleasant and fluid, decisions "Design and practicality were taken together, while weighing all the elements and meeting the budget," concludes the architect.

"All this is evident in the wonderful result - in the charming house they live in today, a house that was designed and built in their image and is bright and open and pleasant to walk and live in."
