In one of the quiet and pastoral neighborhoods in Ramat Hasharon is located a spacious house that has recently undergone a real transformation.
This is the home of a couple in their 50s who have three children, a house that until recently belonged to the parents of its new owners and after years during which it was rented, it returned to familiar and loved hands and was precisely adapted to the needs of the beautiful family he built together with his wife.

"The years passed and the parents of the current home owner decided that the building was too big for them. They rented it for many years and now, when the lease ended, their son and his wife, who were considering buying a new house at the time, also included his childhood home in the equation and debated whether it would be right to buy it and renovate it," she recalls Interior designer Mittal Zimber who is responsible for the impressive makeover.
"Together we examined the advantages and disadvantages of each of the options and chose the second option: the well-known and beloved house was purchased and renovated from the ground up, including the replacement of all the infrastructure and the implementation of advanced systems such as underfloor heating and a solar electricity system."
"In the new design, we created a completely different house in which each of their teenage children has their own kingdom - a spacious suite with an attached bathroom. To this end, we sunned the basement, where the bedroom suite for one of the boys was designed. The living floor was completely changed and that is where the couple's master bedroom and the bedroom suite are currently located of one of the girls. We turned the roof, which had never been used, into the bedroom suite for their third son. For the sake of it, we added a new staircase and dealt with the sharp roof slopes in order to make the space inviting, functional and pleasant. As part of the new program, two separate study rooms were also designed for each One of the careerist couples - she is a senior hi-tech woman and he is in the consulting field. We designed for them a huge bedroom suite with a pampering closet and a dreamy shower, we created a laundry and service room and plenty of storage spaces in the different areas."

"The house, which naturally aged over the years, required extensive demolition and construction work: the electrical systems, the plumbing, the air conditioning, the flooring, the aluminum and the carpentry were designed and rebuilt. The roof floor was used, a new permanent staircase was added, and an English courtyard was added to the basement floor. The structure of the floors was completely changed , except for the public wing where the locations of the functions remain the same but they themselves have completely changed. A new garden was planted outside the house and fences and gates were replaced. The couple requested underfloor heating on two of the floors and so it was - we designed a roof with solar panels for them that helps save extensive expenses in heating the large house." .
As part of the comprehensive renovation, the openings were also significantly expanded and now the connection between the interior and the well-tended garden that surrounds the house is closer than ever.
Meanwhile, the original bathrooms also changed their place and new ones were added.
"Storage was an important and central parameter in the process and indeed, we added a variety of solutions for them in order to leave the house perfectly organized at every stage of the day. For example at the entrance to the house, where we designed a wardrobe closet where you can store coats and bags, which also includes a bench on which you can sit and take off your shoes just before who enter the house. Adjacent to the warehouse, we created a dedicated room for which we designed CUSTOM MADE carpentry. The cleaning products, the vacuum cleaner, the luggage, the shoes, the animal food and more are stored there."

The new house is characterized by a modern design and clean lines, and light and balanced touches of color that give a place of respect to the green of nature that can be found on the outside: "If the family really likes the color purple and it was important for them to integrate it in a central place. For this purpose, we created a large and significant carpentry unit in the kitchen in a purple shade, which We met with the help of a wooden dining area that brings a feeling of warmth and homeliness," explains Zimber.
"In general, the touches of color in this house are very moderate. The shell is mostly quiet and neutral and the colors are reflected in some of the furniture details and accessories.
So, for example, the sofas, which we chose to upholster in a delicate and light green shade that gives softness to the space, pleasant shades of pink that balance the purple color. We added Iron and wood elements that make the space quiet, balanced and calm, for example in the living floors that are paved with natural oak parquet. For the public space we chose thin and refined iron bookcases in which we combined decorative accessories and sentimental items collected by family members over the years."
