A redesign of a 105m² apartment in an old Jerusalem heritage building bought off-plan. The clients weren’t satisfied with the original architect's plan, and would only buy the apartment on one condition: that I redesign it.

The first thing to do was to switch living and sleeping areas. This gave the open-plan living room and kitchen access to the big windows, natural light, beautiful tree-lined views and balcony.

All the original stone had to be incorporated into the new design, bridging the old and new.

The kitchen uses neutral colours and glass cabinets that reflect the light, with plenty of cupboards and storage, a luxury in a city-centre apartment.

The bathrooms were designed with interleading doors, so they can be switched between en-suite and guest. Each bathroom has its own signature colour, creating standalone spaces that contrast against the neutral tone of the apartment.
