The beautiful view from the balcony

The balcony was of course there before we designed the renovation, but it was unattractive in spite of its openness. In order to enhance its beauty, we chose to place the seating area in the corner with the lovelies, vastest view. We furnished it with a mix of non-matching furniture made of natural...

In order to make outdoor dining as pleasant as possible in the friendly but sometimes too sunny Israeli climate, we decided to cover a part of the balcony with a concrete pergola, an invisible plastic roof and a bamboo ceiling. Bamboo also serves to hide the neighbors, and matches the outdoor...

More wicker and bamboo furniture, more ethnic pillows from the homeowner's beautiful collection. The pillowcases were collected over many years of traveling, and had always been in the closet until we found use for them. In each project I design, I try to use objects which my clients already...

Remember the long, narrow living room with only one opening? We opened the former kitchen and created a large space, which spans the whole width of the apartment. This space now has four openings, looking in two directions. It has two connected but separate functions – living room and a...

The living room: Natural materials (wicker furniture, wooden floor and furniture, eclectic design, undyed wool carpets, leather), quiet color palette with shots of blue and red, eclectic furniture, a mixture of paterns and textures – all of these elements together create an open, light, very...

The library/television room is part of the large living space, and has the same materials and the same characteristics. We designed a library to accommodate the television, books, grandchildren's' toys (in the large drawers of the lower part), and two more of the couple's collections – wicker...

Beloved personal items and collections lend this space its character and charm: wicker baskets, frogs, art books, old family furniture and objects. The space was designed with all these in mind.

The new kitchen is half-open to the living space. Separating the two is a low wall and the dining table. The kitchen side of the wall is used for cabinets.

My clients have a large family, which comes together every Friday night for the traditional Sabbath meal. This was our first goal in designing the layout of the apartment: a small (but pleasant!) dining table for everyday use, which can easily be extended to accommodate the whole family. This means...

The half-open kitchen has the same design principles as the rest of the main living space: light, cozy, with natural materials and a little bit of blue to set off the natural colors.

White kitchen tiles, with blue patterned ones in varying sizes.

Across the hall from the kitchen – another display of ethnic wicker objects from the owners' beautiful collection.

The master bedroom. We decided to make it a little smaller than it originally was in order to enlarge the en suite bathroom. It is now accessed through a walk- in closet. Thus each person can wash and get dressed without waking up the other

The patterned blue-white floor tiles also climb up the wall….this creates the illusion of a much larger space, because the eye cannot tell where the floor ends and the walls begin. Plants grow well here, and add much joy to the small space.
