This 85 sqm. apartment is located on a leafy street near Rabin square, in the center of Tel-Aviv. The previous condition was completely delapidated, suffering from a lack of light, many partitions and no hierarchy. The owners, a young couple, wanted the ability to work from home together, enjoying the qualities of the house whilst having the ability to gain privacy if needed. Thus the home office, which is located in the center of the flat between the main living areas and the bedroom, allowing for a gradual transition from public to private. Steel framed glass doors are used to bring south facing light from the home office into the center of the flat. Directly opposite, an enclosed volume is highlighted in Oak veneer, this is the service space of the flat, containing a small storage room and a bathroom for guests. The bedroom is designed in the same wood using contrasting textures to create some interest whilst maintain the serenity of the sleeping space with a minimal palette. The master bathroom contains double shower features per the clients request and echoes the color tones used in the kitchen area.
