M&A Apartment, Tel Aviv- Jaffa

On the 24th floor of a high rise building in the city centre, a young family of three + two cats and a dog, purchased a 105 sqm apartment in a new residential complex.
The couple wanted to transform the generic apartment design to one that would reflect their personalities and inspirations, and embody a clean and monochromatic aesthetic. 
The colour and material palette consists of black and white, blackened and stainless steel and natural oak wood; Creating a contrast between rough and smooth, raw and polished. This fine balance reflects the clients’ wish to attain a distinctly urban feel, alongside a soft and intimate atmosphere.
Architectural interventions in the common area, connected and widened the daily living spaces and opened them to the sea and city view. The kitchen, dining area, and living room are defined by steel and joinery elements that create together a coherent composition, while each area holds different and distinct attributes; The kitchen, in solid black and stainless steel, the living room's bespoke unit in oak, and blackened steel, in which a library and a writing table are embedded. Lastly, the round iconic dining table (by Miniforms).
The couple, a scriptwriter and a novelist, write mostly from home, and therefore the desk was positioned as an essential part of the living room, along with a quiet home office concealed discreetly behind the door in the kitchen’s front.
The bedrooms’ design aligns with a commitment to a minimal material palette, in accordance with the common areas, omitting the black surfaces and allowing mainly wood and soft grey hues define the various elements. Particular and specifically designed and crafted details, echo and appear in different scales and variations, creating a continuous and articulate composition.

Materials: Oak wood, blackened steel, stainless steel and lacquered wood.
