This apartment is used as a vacation apartment, the family enjoys it during their free time, on weekends and when they feel like changing their routine. It is the product of two apartments that were joined together, with a total area of 150 square meters with a 30 square meter balcony, on the Haifa beach, on the floor 18. This is a wonderful holiday apartment, which is used by the family, a couple of parents and five children, in their free time, weekends, holidays and whenever they feel like it. They turned to the designer Moran Neve in order for her to turn it into a dream apartment.
The family members like to host, play sports, and especially like to spend time together and gain shared experiences.
The line that guided the designer Moran Neve is the creation of spacious, bright and free public spaces that allow comfortable and luxurious accommodation for visitors and household members, with the view being the highlight. A quiet and relaxing sleeping space, which simultaneously contains all the members of the family, 7 in number, and the dream was to feel like on a pampering ship, with blue water everywhere outside and the sky letting in its changing light throughout the day until sunrise. The couple has two young daughters aged 4 and 2, to whom a bunk bed was added, and a wooden bridge that overlooks the bedroom, their favorite part of the house and allows for rest, climbing and playing. Especially for the girls, a huge shell-like freestanding bathtub is set up, where they spend time.
Noah has learned to create plenty of storage and accessory solutions, without harming the comfort and the various needs of the household members. The large, aluminum windows were kept as original so as not to damage the facades and the building's color. The chosen design style is luxurious, warm and glorifies the outdoors. Use of sand and pearl tones alongside touches of greenish blue of water and sky.
Mirror tile - IMOLA MUSE marble in a sandy white shade covers the entire public space, its function is to produce a three-dimensional natural geometry that illustrates movement, in the bathrooms a combination of tiles from the same family in a special size from floor to ceiling. In addition, for rose gold bathroom accessories that give luxury and unique chic.
The CNC-made living room wall is chosen as a sun or anchor figure, hiding behind it guest toilets, all the spaces are wrapped in mdf - painted with engravings and grooves, which eliminate storage areas, openings to different spaces and decorate the house without overloading it. The kitchen wraps around the house in the shape of an R and allows working in front of the view.
The marble surface is made of beautiful porcelain that looks like a natural crystal ice stone and is also found as a built-in sink with a trough in the bathroom. The handles on the various furniture, the door handles were all chosen in rose gold for its shades and decorate the furniture with restraint.
In the family bedroom, a huge and lighted stage was designed with 4 Tempor mattresses measuring 9 square meters connected together, allowing for real rest without feeling the connections. A wooden bridge with a bunk bed was built above the bed. The large storage area incorporates a built-in television and a play corner with books and games.
The back of the huge bed is made by oknin. The furniture chosen for the project complements the finish materials in pearl tones, stone and Napa leathers in shades of greenish blue. The complementary furniture in circular lines to maintain flow in the space.
A living room table, also from OKNIN, made of a combination of iron and glass painted in a greenish shade fits in perfect harmony in the space and manages to be present and at the same time hidden.
The power wall in the living room and the special piece of furniture create continuity in the space, and eternally emphasize the connection between the various details that make this house a one-off creation, which looks different in every part of the day but allows for rest and relaxation.
