"This project started with a phone call: 'I received your phone from a friend From a kibbutz yes. Since then I've been following and loving. Can we arrange a meeting?'" recalls interior designer Nurit Mor Yosef.
"At the meeting, there was immediately a wonderful chemistry that led to an escort to a house that was to be built from scratch in Kibbutz Yakum. The escort continued for more than two years in which the house went from plans on paper to the construction phase and then escorted in the design choices and planning including full dressing "up to the level of the flower bouquet on the table - everything from zero to a hundred". says the designer.

The house is a 2-story private house with an area of 160 square meters, built on an area of 350 square meters and it was built for a family of eight, a pair of parents and two children.
"The first step was receiving the initial plans made by an architect whose services the couple hired for the initial planning and submissions to the council.
I changed the plans I received in accordance with the program I built with the couple, in accordance with the various needs - today and in the future," says Mor Yosef.
According to her, from the customers' point of view, this is a home for life. Therefore, it was very important for them and for her to make it as accessible as possible. For this reason, it was decided in advance that a suite The parents will be located on the entrance floor. Except for the master suite, the entrance floor includes a living room, kitchen, guest bathroom and a den that serves as a home office.
Fainting for minimalist Nordic styles?

The upper floor was dedicated to children.
It includes: two bedrooms and a family corner - which in the original plans was closed off as an extra room, but Mor Yosef decided to open it up and change its purpose in favor of a family corner where the children could also entertain their friends, without invading the formal living room downstairs.
Between the two children's rooms is a bathroom, which has also undergone several design versions.
With the construction of the skeleton, it was finally decided to give up a bath and to make a shower and next to it a carpentry shaft in favor of throwing the laundry "in direct dispatch" to the laundry room located on the entrance floor.
"The goal of the planning was to produce a house that allows for the most comfortable lifestyle for the longest possible term," says the designer.
According to a house that looks forward to a distant future, and not only in the functional aspect.
A design concept was chosen whose base is very clean, on the Nordic border.
That's why Mor Yosef also gave this project the name: "The Nordic Home in the Universe".
The public space on the entrance floor is paved with large concrete-like tiles (120/120).
And the stairs that go up from this floor to the private room floor are covered with a slightly smoked oak parquet to create a warm look.

The kitchen is built in the shape of a resh with a shorter side of tall cabinets and a built-in unit that also includes the refrigerator. Perpendicular to it, a strip of low cabinets under a large window in a black frame. For the kitchen cabinets, a smoky gray color was chosen with floating handles, and a black island was installed in the front of the kitchen and around it Chairs for sitting. The style of the kitchen is clean, and wooden units were also incorporated in it, with a material that also repeats itself in the lighting fixtures. The
living room is airily furnished with two matching sofas in sand-gray tones, a rope rug in a natural tone, and round black metal tables. But the show in the living room is stolen by a unique armchair With a light wood frame and brown-stained leather seats.

The master suite is also free of trends, and designed with an elegant, timeless look.
Along one of the walls of the room, a large cabinet was designed in a mineral gray shade combined with elegant handles.
The handles were installed horizontally, contrary to the norm, and this seemingly marginal choice also creates interest and style.
An accumulation strip was installed above the cabinet for the benefit of the space lighting, and lighting for convenient use in the cabinet.
"In the space created under the stairs, we created a continuation of the closet that serves as a wonderful storage space. On the surface, it looks like an extremely long continuous closet, but the last pair of doors lead to the space that is under the stairs," explains the designer.
Furniture in gray and sandy tones was also chosen in the master's room, which fully matches the style of the rest of the house, especially on the entrance floor.
The bathroom adjacent to the master suite is covered in concrete-like tiles, the tiles climb from the ceiling to the wall cladding and the oak carpentry completes the design with a touch of natural and warm materiality and binds the timeless look.

In the children's bathroom upstairs, on the other hand, the coloring is completely different.
"In the children's shower, we decided to introduce color. It is reflected in one dominant wall covered in smoky light blue tiles in a fishbone layout that also adds a geometric twist."
In the children's bedrooms, Mor Yosef returned to the clean and minimalist color scheme with the aim of making them also super-temporary so that they could accompany the children for years to come.
"The house represents all the dreams of my clients, big and small. So after quite a few sketches, deliberations, conversations, schedules, budgets, requests, programs, details details details a million details, supervision in the field, textile colors - I am happy that I was able to make their dream come true" , concluded.
