The living room level on the ground floor and the stairs leading to the rooms are lined with split oak flooring.

The house is surrounded by windows with black profiles decorated with thin aluminum strips, for a fine European look.

The color in the space is expressed thanks to the natural materials that create the shades and give the quiet and pleasant feeling in the spaces.

"I chose to add to this natural color palette the green door that integrates and connects with the vegetation chosen for the interior of the house and the vegetation reflected through the windows," says the designer.



Between the entrance hall to the house and the living room level is separated a white steel bookcase that was specially designed for this house in such a way that it also serves as a safety rail and as a kind of entrance console and on the other side on the living room level it functions as a stand for reading books, magazines and decorative items.

The building the family moved to is not new.

"This is a 30-year-old house whose level of finish was very old and not up-to-date," says Bess Barkai.

"As part of the new planning, walls were broken down and built up, windows and showcases were replaced, flooring and coverings were replaced, and the house was repainted on the outside as well, with fine and modern plaster."



In the living room, the designer used the existing large window key, and created a deep niche from it with a bench upholstered in fabric and cushions specially sewn to harmonize with the rest of the furniture.

The window is located exactly in the center of the living room and from the large window all the green of the garden penetrates into the house.

The kitchen space, which was very small and separated from the rest of the house, was opened up by breaking down walls and creating a large island around which all family members can sit for meals.

"Since in a house under renovation there are always surprises along the way, after detailed planning for the kitchen we discovered during the breakages a supporting column, and we had to make minor changes in the kitchen," remembers Bess Barkai.

About the overall design concept that guided her, she says: "The house was designed in a modern classic style and I used a monochromatic color palette. The lovely couple are a young couple, so what motivated me in the planning and design was to take the classic and clean design and use natural and modern materials. But it was also important to her that the house radiate Homely and special warmth. I devote a lot of thought to the dressing of the spaces and the styling details and the accompanying accessories that constitute an additional layer and a significant part of the home design, in the end they are the ones that create the desired atmosphere."



Bess Barkai had to implement all of these under a very challenging schedule.

"The family sold their previous apartment in Petah Tikva, and we depended on both their eviction date and the start of the school year, which they wanted to do already in the new home with their children."

Peak sweetness.

By the way of the children, their number at the beginning of the process and at the end was not the same.

When the couple started working with the designer, they were the parents of two children, and when they moved into their renovated and renovated house in Lahab, their third son was born, for whom, of course, a room was waiting in the new house.
