The house where we grow up as children shapes us and fills us with memories.
This is the place where we take our first steps, the place where we are educated and shaped and the place that leaves us with endless memories - from the smells in the kitchen, through the hours we spend with the family in the living room to the room where we grew up.
Probably many would dream, if they could, to return to the house where they grew up.
The private house in the old neighborhood in Yavne fulfills a dream for a person who grew up there and now returns to live there with his family members.
"The house was very old, unplanned and really not suitable for the needs of the family," Corinne Nemer, the owner of the design and architecture studio 'Corin Design', reveals to us.
"We expanded the house and adapted it to the needs of the family members with precise planning. From the beginning we aimed together with the clients for a house that would be designed in a Scandinavian style, relatively minimalist but with a combination of natural and warm materials such as wood, concrete and marble.

The entrance to the house is made through an entrance closet built with custom carpentry according to the needs of the family members and according to the measurements at the entrance, when it is used for convenient organization in the morning, when shoes, bags, coats, etc. are placed in it.
In addition, the cabinet includes a sitting bench, behind which there is a hidden door, behind which there are shelves and additional storage places.
Next to the entrance closet are wooden stairs leading to the upper floor.
"The stairs are a piece of cake," declares the designer.
"We went into great detail and created special separations in the stairs, the idea of which was to create stairs that are both stairs, can also be used as a bench and - they have a special section. It was the dream of the customer who really wanted stairs in this style and I'm glad we were able to make it come true for her."
The kitchen is designed according to the design style of the house - on the one hand, the use of black, which dominates the kitchen and is repeated in the carpentry, including in the integral doors that hide the refrigerator, in the aluminum around the keys, in the faucet and the lighting above the marble area, and on the other hand - the color that dominates the island is white in a combination of wood that brings warmth to the space .
"The kitchen was designed in the form of a hut," adds Nagar, "we opened it up and expanded it to fit the needs of the household."

Just before we continue from the kitchen, a carpenter reveals to us that the kitchen has a hidden door located next to the refrigerator and leads to the home office she planned for the tenants.
Next to the home office is the shelter.
The living room, which is located next to the kitchen, continues the design line chosen by the designer and the clients, as it includes a sofa and an armchair - the sofa in a gray shade and an armchair in a light shade, flanked by a living room table consisting of two round tables with a wooden top.
In the large wall that leads to the exit to the yard, the designer chose to make a concrete wall, in order to emphasize the combination of natural materials that warm the space.
The combination of materials has a very beautiful and semi-natural effect.
The floor is a light gray shade, and like the floor in the bathrooms and the sanitary ware in the apartment, they are from Topaz Ceramics.
"I've been working with them for many years and they never change a winning horse," reveals the designer.
"It's a professional and reliable company and every order has a mother and father. I have a lot of fun working with them."

From the living room you can go out through the wall and the large display case to a huge yard that includes several seating areas, a barbecue area and planting areas, where part of the yard is surrounded by a pergola with hidden LED lighting.
On the top floor, Nemer and the clients made a transformation in the floor plan.
In fact, the side that includes the parents' suite and the children's rooms was extended towards the outside of the house, and the rooms changed their place.
All the rooms except the family corner which was created by opening one of the closed rooms and one children's room - the children's room where the father of the family grew up for years and is now used by his son.

"During the work on the upper floor, we had a kind of "Baltam", Nemer reveals. "We discovered a beam in the ceiling and decided to adapt it to the design style - we painted it galvanized black and in perfect combination with the wood, as we wanted." The new house benefits from custom
carpentry With the aim of creating many storage solutions, at the request of the family members. "The aim was to turn the outdated house they purchased into the most functional space available in terms of planning and design.
Together we managed to make the dream a reality," Nagar concludes.
