Planning a house or apartment renovation — and want to do it the right way?
A renovation is a complex process involving countless decisions, different professionals, and multiple suppliers —
and all of it needs to come together into one clear and well-defined vision, where everything works in harmony.
Whether this is your first renovation project,
or you’ve been through one before and weren’t fully satisfied with the result —
the stage where everything is truly determined is the planning stage.
Many clients come to me with questions such as:
How do you know what truly needs to be planned — before you even begin making selections?
How do you coordinate between all the different professionals so the process moves forward in an organized and efficient way?
How do you make so many decisions — while still maintaining a cohesive and well-balanced design direction?
And how do you go through all of this calmly — without losing control along the way?
Without comprehensive and precise planning, a renovation can easily become an exhausting, expensive process full of compromises.
I lead an interior planning and design process that brings clarity and structure into the complexity —
allowing every decision to come together into a complete, functional, and comfortable home.
The planning process defines not only how the home will look —
but how it will function in everyday life, and how all its elements connect together in a precise and thoughtful way.
A Planning Process That Creates Clarity — and Leads to a Complete and Precise Result
For a renovation to work properly, it needs to begin with precise planning that connects all aspects of the project — functionality, aesthetics, technical systems, and execution.
I lead a clear and structured interior planning and design process, where every decision has its place within the overall vision:
- Understanding your needs, lifestyle, and personal preferences
- Developing planning alternatives and defining the most suitable direction
- Developing a cohesive design and material language
- Detailed planning of the kitchen, bathrooms, and custom carpentry
- Planning technical systems — lighting, electrical, plumbing, and ceiling design
- Preparing a complete set of execution drawings
- Material, furniture, and design selections throughout the process
Throughout the entire process, I work closely with the contractor, suppliers, and various professionals involved —
translating the design into a clear plan for execution, and making sure everyone works according to the same vision and documentation.
For those preparing for a significant renovation and understand that thoughtful planning is what ultimately defines the quality of the result — not just the selections made at the end of the process.
The home becomes precisely tailored to you:
everything works together, everything feels connected — with no need for improvised solutions along the way.
The result creates a sense of clarity, calm, and confidence —
a home that feels right from the very first moment.
Clients Share Their Experience of the Design Process
“Yuri is a creative, professional, and highly skilled designer. He truly understood our mindset and designed a home that reflects our lifestyle, beliefs, and values — and perhaps most importantly, a home that feels comfortable and pleasant to live in.
Throughout various planning and structural challenges — and perhaps even a few emotional ones 🙂 — Yuri remained professional, sensitive, and focused. He knew how to combine the new elements with the existing ones we wanted to preserve, guide the process through both the major decisions and the smallest details, and make thoughtful adjustments along the way according to our evolving needs and requests.”
Beyond working with Yuri himself, he connected us with wonderful professionals — skilled craftsmen who were not only highly professional, but also fair, reliable, precise, and available throughout the process.
That contributed greatly to our peace of mind and to the beautiful results we continue to enjoy every single day.
Highly recommended, with great appreciation and warmth.
Dror and Yael
“We began our renovation process about a year ago with many concerns and uncertainties. Yuri guided us through every stage — from choosing the right professionals to selecting the color of the living room sofa.
He provided valuable professional advice in every area where it was needed throughout the process. He recommended excellent professionals and always found solutions to every question or challenge we encountered during the renovation.
He is especially well suited for leading large-scale home and villa renovation projects.
Highly recommended.”
“We hired Yuri to design our penthouse apartment in Jerusalem. Yuri is extremely professional, truly understands our needs and wishes, and knows how to bring them to life in the most beautiful and effective way possible.
What stood out most to us was his patience and pleasant approach throughout the entire process. He was incredibly kind and calm — both with us and with every supplier and professional we worked with.
He never compromises until the result feels exactly right, yet always approaches everything with great patience.
I honestly can’t recommend him enough!”
“Full disclosure — we are not easy clients. It takes us a long time to make decisions, we deliberate over every detail, expect high quality at a reasonable budget, and stay deeply involved throughout the entire process down to the smallest details.
We found Yuri through a local neighborhood advertisement after being “let go” by the first designer we hired, because our pace of decision-making was apparently too slow for her.”
So, as you might expect from chronic overthinkers, we did our homework and spoke with several references Yuri provided us with.
What follows is a summary of what they told us — which, looking back, perfectly reflects our own experience as well.
“Rina: We were extremely satisfied. Yuri was deeply involved throughout the process and knew excellent suppliers. He pays close attention to every detail, was present during measurements, shared his professional opinion without ever being pushy, and attended the kitchen installation while carefully checking dimensions throughout the process. He documents everything, is always available, and responds promptly to messages. He also connected us with an excellent carpenter.”
“Shachar: We truly enjoyed working with him. He knows how to balance the client’s wishes with his professional perspective, and explains his ideas in a very clear and precise way. He has tremendous patience, is highly detail-oriented, and plans with a broad, forward-thinking vision. He’s simply a pleasure to work with. Worth every shekel we invested.”
“Gadi: Simply wonderful — thorough, precise, and incredibly dedicated. He never counts the hours and stays involved throughout the entire process. He created many visualizations and invested an enormous amount of effort. Excellent.”
“Maria: He truly understood our mindset — someone who genuinely cares. We were very happy with the entire experience.”
“Beyond everything already mentioned, I would also like to highlight Yuri’s remarkable ability to support and guide people throughout the process. He has a calming presence that gives a real sense of confidence — knowing there is someone taking responsibility, looking after us, and able to handle our stress and challenges along the way.
In short, he felt like a trusted friend who genuinely wanted the best for us.
We would never have reached our dream apartment without him.”
