From the architect. The project is planning a residential unit
in a continuing generation neighborhood, planned as an extension to the
kibbutz located in the northern part of the Israeli coastal strip
adjacent to the Mediterranean Sea. The semi-detached house was the
chosen model out of a number of models presented to the customer. The
selected model was not designed for a specific customer; it is trying to
answer an anonymous architectural program.
The “Henkin Shavit” studio, headed by Irit Henkin and Zohar Shavit,
conducted the planning and design of the project, with their vast
experience managed in a relatively short period of time, to run this
project with an emphasis on key elements in interior design. The project
dealt with the issue of a makeover from an anonymous residential unit
of 200 sq meters to a personal and specific residential unit that
responds to the needs and loves of a young couple in transition for a
small family.
The home owner who was born in the city of Nahariya and her husband, who
was born and raised in the kibbutz, set a challenging architectural
program which contains natural contemporary materials, large spacious
spaces, especially stressed the need for a public space that will
accommodate their many friends in comfort and fun.
The program chosen by the studio for downstairs is a living room and
kitchen, adjacent to a front yard, a guest accommodation unit, office,
guest bathroom and utility room. The master bedroom was placed in the
second floor and adjacent to it is an open studio space towards the
stair hall, which operates as a flexible space that can be altered in
accordance with the future family needs.
The foyer is designed to be the largest space in the house and contains
the kitchen, which was designed as a system containing a combination of
storage element adjacent to a white painted wall, integrated in the
surrounding walls. The work isle is stretched along the entire space and
combines the dining area. The work triangle is formed by the sink,
stove and a free standing oven all located at the working isle and
between the built-in Subzero refrigerator in the high storage unit.
Natural oak is the material chosen for the work isle and dining area,
with drawer fronts designed with three-layered Goshen oak which allowed
for some wood to be removed and locating black handles in that space.
The wall facing the front garden contains 3 identical openings which
combine a Belgian profile made of steel with black oil paint finish.
These windows have been designed with minimum distributions in a method
of only an external frame profile.
The main entrance door was designed from the same profile only that it
was burned with acid, creating a natural look of rust. The home’s floor
is cast in smoothed concrete with a light, natural shade, which was
slotted in only a few divisions. The toilets and showers were designed
in a classic look that combines mosaics, illustrated concrete tiles,
glossy white ceramic walls and the sinks’ carpentry was planned from
Goshen oak wood with lacquer finish and specially made brass handles
were attached to it. The furniture surfaces in the wet areas and the
kitchen are Caesar Stone, in a light shade and gray veins. The staircase
was covered in 2 inch Goshen oak and the banister was designed from a
clear glass unit.
The top floor was designed to preserve the building’s slope tiled roof
structure. This slope ceiling was covered from the inside by male-female
33mm oak boards which were painted in shiny white finish. The master
bedroom is planned as a spacious loft and contains a sleeping area,
wardrobe space, make-up unit, shower and toilet.
The materials in the house contain a combination of natural oak with
gray and black shaded concrete, joined by black and rusty iron and sand
sprinkled transparent glass. The colors contain a scale of black, gray,
pale blue, white, joined by textures and finish ranging from shiny to
mat and from smooth to the raw and rough. The house is scattered with
artifacts and photographs, also, design elements and furniture from the
best design brands.
