The house in the village

This is the home of a young family with the desire of connecting to nature through a simple home with a natural interior that will make them feel it's where they belong.

It's a young couple in their 30's and their two small children.
A mechanical engineer and a social worker who met during a trip to India a decade ago, ever since then dreaming of their ideal home in the Israeli Galilee region.

Almost two years ago, I got a phone call from an interested customer, they already had their finished plans and it was just a moment before construction started.
It was this young woman, looking for a partner with the right touch to guide her through making "irreversible" decisions during the construction, or as she said "someone to make sure the floor sticks to the walls and the walls stick to the roof and make it all work together."

A few days after that call, I arrived at the couple's home. My bond with them was instant, and even the husband got very actively involved throughout the entire project.

They dreamt of a home that blends well with the views of the Galilee, that it's entire building process will be eco friendly and incorporate natural building materials, plaster, wood, earth and stone.

At our first meeting the elements that dominated the conversation were connection to nature,
simplicity, and a feeling of calmness that they wanted in their home.
They wanted to spiritually fill their home with positive energy and every choice that they've made during the entire project was aligned with that vision.

They were open hearted, they asked to be a part of the process and gave their trust and freedom of creativity to the professionals they hired.

The owner of the house speaks of how she has previously heard that this process can be daunting, difficult and unappealing
and so she was overjoyed that by our first meeting we've already felt sparks of creativity and imagination.
"We've dreamt together, you've allowed us to dream. You asked us how we imagine our home, it's such a simple question that no one else stopped to ponder in this so called "race""
