Interior Designer Yossi Shaul created a luxurious and spacious apartment for a family of five, with a spacious kitchen, and an overall feel of a private house
The clients, a family of five, have lived in the same neighborhood for years and were in search of a more spacious property that would better suit their needs in terms of layout and infrastructure as well as their aesthetic preferences.
The new property is located on the 7th floor of a 13-story building and after a carefully planned and executed interior renovation, with a focus on the kitchen and living area, the apartment feels as spacious and inviting as a private house.
The family wanted the apartment to be uniquely designed. Interior Designer Yossi Shaul integrated the layout changes into the construction phase and the results are inspiring: a sophisticated yet warm and welcoming family space, achieved thanks to a perfect balance between industrial and warm materials.
Most changes to the original layout are evident in the open-space kitchen and living area. The space, which is the focal point of this 120 sqm apartment, stretches across 50 sqm. In order to tailor it to the family’s lifestyle, Shaul and the family decided to abandon the original plan in which the dining area was located next to the entrance: “We decided to dedicate that space to a larger kitchen instead so we could give it a more square-shaped design for a more spacious feel. The corridor leading to the bedrooms was shortened by half a meter, making the living area bigger.
“After analyzing the family’s needs, it was concluded that they very rarely use the dining area, so we created a collapsible dining table for the balcony and the family meals take place around the kitchen island”.
These were significant changes to the original plans so Shaul and the family chose to carry out the infrastructure changes during the construction phase followed by finishing touches. “Changing the plumbing, electricity and a/c points was only the beginning of the process. We wanted to ensure that the renovation was done to the highest of standards, from construction to finishing. This is something that a development company that constructs many apartments at any one time, simply cannot adequately guarantee. Therefore, we waited until the construction was complete and only then we started to carry out all the adjustments. “This extended the duration of the project, but the results were definitely worth the wait” explains Shaul. “Some of these changes included lowering the ceiling, which impacted the fitting of the a/c system, opening wide decorative air grilles and creating the geometric lighting hinges that go through it. The ceiling was painted with a silk finish filler with a slight shine that allows for a degree of reflection - making the space appear bigger than it actually is”.
The right balance between cold and warm materials throughout the space, gives it its unique look. “The thought, from the onset, was to create a modern space by combining industrial materials such as concrete, wood, and metal. We wanted to create a dominant wall with concrete effect cladding and chose the wall that surrounds the living room and kitchen, which stretches from the entrance through to the balcony. A craftsman used layers of thin micro-taping and evenly spaced wooden panels that give the wall a real concrete look. The kitchen cabinets don’t go up to the ceiling intentionally, allowing the effect of the wall to continue throughout the space, creating a homogenous feel across the areas”.
The kitchen cabinets are made of two contrasting elements. The bottom cabinets were covered in a graphite-colored nano-lazer Formica laminate and the top cabinets (in which the built-in refrigerator and food cupboards were fitted) were covered in beech effect recycled Zebrano wood veneer that gives the cupboards a clean look. The narrow grooves between the cabinets were painted in the same graphite color as the bottom cabinets, to create a flow between the two different elements.
The attention to detail is very much apparent throughout the apartment. The same geometric concept in the kitchen was extended to the utility cupboard that was fitted next to the entrance and is surrounded by a graphite-colored frame.
Fishbone parquet in recycled oak was chosen for the bedroom floors to add a touch of warmth to the rooms. To give the master bedroom an open and spacious feel, Shaul replaced the concrete wall between the bedroom and the en-suite with a clear glass partition. The television mount was installed in the ceiling, through which all the cables run down. The wardrobe doors are made of reflective grey-tinted milk glass that gives the illusion of more space.
