An apartment interior design project, Jerusalem, Israel

Planning a five-room apartment, a total of 130 square meters
We were called to design an apartment in a typical Jerusalem building, around green cypress trees in a pleasant and quiet neighborhood in Jerusalem.

The apartment was originally divided into a living room and a kitchen connected in one long, unlit space and four more rooms, while the parents' room had a covered balcony, a small closet, and a cramped shower room.

We were asked to keep the number of rooms, of which to create a playroom, a pampering master bedroom and lots of storage solutions.
Our goal was to "cut" the long space of the living room and kitchen in the middle to create the illusion of a shorter, but spacious space. We divided the space into zones by flooring, lighting, a special library element.

We created large and thin aluminum openings, in order to bring in as much light as possible from one end of the space - the living room and the dining area, and from the other end the kitchen, which if we draw a line between them, its length will be 14 meters (!) In the living room we created a special library with thin shelves that contains in the back the air conditioning system.

We chose to design the kitchen with light oak wood, white nano laminate and stone and stainless-steel surfaces to complete the classic and timeless look.

We expanded the hallway of the apartment significantly, for this purpose we exposed a column that was embedded in one of the walls and left it as a sculptural element in the space.
