Home: Ron Shenkin and Adva Ben-Sasson
Ron Shenkin designer\ architect is 3rd generation living in Ein Vered village, in the center of Israel.
Ron & his partner, Adva Ben – Sasson decided to renovate a 60SQM abandoned storage building and molding in it into what they believe in.
“We believe that a home is constantly undergoing transformation, requiring the space to be dynamic, multipurpose and easily convertible in order to fit in with ever changing needs of its residents. This makes the residents the ‘heart of the home’”.
Three years ago Ron Shenkin and his partner Adva Ben-Sasson decided to remodel a large agricultural storage shed and mold it into a new architectural experiment, creating an evolving home that would easily adjustable over time in accordance with their particular needs.
In contrast to the traditional design principle of “many spaces making up a whole" where each space has a single and permanent function, the architects chose to create a ‘single space’ that could function as many, keeping in line with their particular and specific needs at any given time.
The partitions, wardrobes, bed and couch were all designed and constructed to enable easy movement.
Inside, the exposed electrical wiring has been integrated as a design feature, reducing costs. The primary building materials used were iron, wood and concrete with a monochromatic color scheme punctuated by bold accents of color. Ron and Adva designed both internal and external design.
Pictorial Descriptions:
The fixed window for illuminate the house with natural light throughout the day, even with the blinds drawn. The overall design of the windows was created to allow the outside in, to enable the inhabitants to experience the totality of their environment.
The floor is a concrete in a natural finish. The steel supporting beams were left exposed and painted in a bright red color.
The dining space is parallel to the kitchen. The central table is constructed of wood off-cuts that were pieced together to form a large smooth surface and set on upcycled, mismatched iron bars of varying size and color. The dining room seating is an eclectic mix of chairs chosen for their individuality and harmony.
2-3) In the living space a large couch, designed by the owners, dominate the area. The couch was constructed using an iron frame with a steel netting on top of which rests a large mattress, and is completely mobile and adjustable.
There are 3 movable partitions which separate the living area from the sleeping area.
4) The irregular dining table legs.
5) The kitchen was designed as a single straight unit, constructed out of an iron frame in black and adjustable cupboard units. There are 2 suspended lighting units. The original windows were restored with white aluminum.
6) The "His and Hers" wardrobe units are mobile and offer an additional partition solution.
7) A steel door leads to the bathroom space which is furnished with a single long basin constructed of stainless steel covered with a stainless steel mesh with the taps extending directly from the wall. The shower unit is coated with opaque glass. There is also a unique towel rack which was inspired by a tree trunk and branches, extends from the floor.
8) In the bedroom, the brick wall has been left exposed and the window, in the space between the wall and the ceiling is accessible via a ladder that rests along the side of the bathroom door and also serves as a design feature. The bed was also designed with mobility in mind of converting it into additional seating when needed.
