“Renowned architects Baranowitz + Kronenberg are proud to unveil the studio’s interior design concept for an astonishing 47-square-metre residence in the heart of Tel Aviv.
Situated in one of Tel Aviv’s finest Art Deco buildings in the vibrant Levontin neighborhood, the compact residence has been the subject of an exceptional architectural redesign, creating a one-bedroom apartment that blends functionality, creativity, and tranquility.
Envisioned as a working space that is designed as an extension of the home, the apartment is conceived in a continuous palette of Douglas-Fir wood, instilling a sense of warmth and refuge from the outside world. Its unified presence and biophilic design aims to evoke a yearning to be lost in nature even when it is physically out of reach. The luminous hues and inherent ridges of the Douglas-Fir wood radiate a calming yet invigorating energy, and offers a refined backdrop for art and furniture curation.
For the design concept, the bar undertook a fascinating exploration of cave dwellings and created a space characterised not only by continuity, boundless materials, but also in moments of discovery and surprise. The apartment unfolds in an ‘L’ shaped sequence, where each space seamlessly blends and flows together to create one identity throughout. Pushing the boundaries of residential design showcases the studio’s commitment to innovation and their ability to create spaces that transcend conventional norms.
The project spotlights the excellent usage of repurposing a space, enhanced through untraditional methods that amplify ever section of the home for a useful purpose. Rarely does a space inspire design from the start, acting as a blank canvas to create something truly one of its kind.”
