About two years after she became a widow, Naomi decided to leave her large house in Ramat Hasharon and move to sheltered housing in Hazut Tzahala. She turned to architect Noura Goldberg, with whom she had a previous acquaintance. In order for you to help her in the redesign of the penthouse unit she chose to move into in the compound of Hazut Tzalah. When they reached the interior design stage, the architect referred Barnea to the interior designer Yankel'a Zankar for cooperation in the project. The apartment covers one level that includes a kitchen, a living room, two bathrooms (one for guests and one master), bedroom, study and garden.

"We faced two challenges," Tsenkar explains, "one - to increase the sense of space in the apartment, and the other to include as much free space as possible in the apartment, which has an area of 80 square meters." During the long years she lived in a spacious villa, Barnea accumulated a lot of clothes, jewelry, shoes, accessories, kitchen utensils, and textile items, which Naomi loved and wanted to take with her. Even after initial sorting, there was still a respectable amount of equipment that needed to be stored. herself to reality and the new environment.
These qualities allowed her (and us) to sort, thin out, divide and reduce as much as possible and still pass on her greediness."
In the process of renovating the penthouse, it was decided to remove the wall that separates the living area of the apartment from the roof terrace, and the wall that separates the bedroom from its balcony.
Eliminating these two walls actually increased the living area and bedroom.
The walls that were removed were replaced by showcases that stretch across the width of the rooms, creating a large sense of space.

The outdoor space was not neglected either, and landscape architect Or-Lee Shapira was entrusted with its design.
"The magical garden makes it possible to host a large number of people. It has an outdoor kitchenette, a large pergola, and garden furniture that was moved from the previous house.
The interior of the penthouse is designed in a classic-modern style and suits the tenant's character. In the public area, 120/120 flooring was chosen in a greyish beige shade which is met in the entrance hall with light oak parquet. The TV unit that extends into the entrance hall is painted a warm gray, while the rest of the carpentry in the house is painted in the color of the walls.
In the guest bathroom, flooring and covering with patterns that resemble an oriental carpet or wallpaper were chosen, and create a lot of interest. While in the private bathroom For the tenant, which is adjacent to her master unit, marble-look flooring and cladding were chosen to give the room an elegant and classic look.

In the kitchen, facades with a golden look were chosen, which greatly enriches the house with its beauty.
In the living room, several items kept from the tenant's previous house were incorporated, such as the lamp by Ayala Sperling and two armchairs - each with a different look.
One has a metal frame and is upholstered in leather, while the other has a vintage look with a rattan back and striped upholstery.
A place of honor is given to some of the decorative accessories that are displayed in the living room on top of a library that the designer designed especially for the space, and next to them you can also notice carpets and works of art collected by the tenant and her late husband over the years and there is a place for them in the new penthouse.

At the end of the room is a large display window through which a green view of well-kept flower pots bursts in.
On the wall in front of the bed, a large white wall cabinet was installed that covers the wall from end to end and includes a lot of storage space and the TV is also embedded in it.
A similar carpentry unit was installed on one of the walls of the study, which also includes a couch for guests and a desk that overlooks a window.
