Following Tel-Aviv’s soaring housing prices over the last 3 years, many
people were forced to renovate their existing apartments instead of
selling and buying bigger ones.
This owner decided to transform her studio apartment into a 1 bedroom,
including storage units, a large separate kitchen and a full size queen
bedroom.
As a design solution, we chose to condense all the programmatic
functions and storage units into a cube which was centered in the middle
of the space, thus dividing the apartments into 4 zones, while
maintaining a 360 degree circulation around it, which makes the space
seem endless and bigger than it actually is.
By adding sliding doors that disappear into the cube, the space can be
altered according to the time of day and the various needs of the owner,
contributing further more to the sense of a multi-functional and
multi-layered space.
