A new apartment usually comes with a standard layout —
but not always one that truly fits the way you live.
The tenant change stage allows you to influence the planning and layout —
but to truly maximize the apartment, it’s important to understand how to work intelligently within the existing limitations.
This is the stage where major decisions are made —
often earlier than expected, and within a process that is not always clear or easy to navigate.
Many clients come to me with questions such as:
What can actually be changed during the tenant change process — and what cannot?
How do you make important decisions early on without regretting them later?
How do you adapt the apartment to your personal needs instead of settling for a standard layout?
And how do you make sure all the selections — kitchen, flooring, electrical planning — work together cohesively?
Without precise planning at this stage,
it’s very easy to miss an opportunity that won’t come again —
and end up moving into an apartment that doesn’t truly fit your needs.
I guide a complete interior planning and design process for new apartments from the tenant change stage onward —
helping maximize the apartment within the project’s existing possibilities,
while creating a precise plan tailored to your lifestyle.
In a new apartment project, planning decisions are made at a very early stage — which means every decision directly affects how the apartment will ultimately look and function.
I lead a planning process that allows decisions to be made in a clear, organized, and confident way —
while working within the existing framework of the project:
Throughout the entire process, I work closely with the project’s suppliers and relevant professionals —
making sure every decision is implemented accurately within the project’s existing framework.
For those purchasing a new apartment —
and want to plan it properly from the very beginning,
rather than move into a standard apartment that doesn’t truly fit the way they live.
You’re no longer left with the feeling of “what if…” —
decisions are made with clarity, structure, and a true understanding of the process.
You gain a real sense of control throughout the process.
You understand why every element is placed where it is —
and how all the decisions connect together into one complete vision.
The result is a complete and harmonious apartment,
where the planning, materials, and technical systems all work together —
fully tailored to the way you truly live.
“About three years ago, we decided to purchase a new penthouse apartment in Mevaseret Zion. We spoke with several designers, but after a short search — and conversations with Yuri’s previous clients — the choice became clear.
The entire process of working with Yuri felt calm and reassuring from the very beginning. We immediately felt we were in good hands. Yuri is sensitive, attentive, and always does his best to align what we want with our budget framework.
He is always available for questions, patient, articulate, and extremely thorough. Everyone who visits our apartment notices the high level of execution and professionalism of the people Yuri works with.
Moving into and renovating a new apartment can be an exhausting and stressful experience, but throughout the process we often felt Yuri also served as a calming presence — part psychologist, part couples counselor — all included in the package.
Yuri truly became part of the family.
I would gladly welcome any of Yuri’s future clients to visit our apartment and experience the results for themselves.”

“I would like to highly recommend Yuri — our amazing designer. Yuri accompanied us for three years, from the moment we purchased our penthouse apartment from the developer. From our very first conversation with him, we knew he was the person we wanted to create our dream home with.”
“Yuri is an exceptionally talented designer. Precise and perfectionistic, incredibly creative, and a true pleasure to work with — he knew exactly how to create the perfect solution tailored specifically for us.”
“Throughout the entire process, Yuri worked in an exceptionally organized and meticulous way — to the point that even the tenant change coordinator told us she had rarely seen such thorough and well-prepared work from a designer.”
“He always presented us with several 3D design options, allowing us to fully visualize the space and make thoughtful, informed decisions.”
“There is no doubt that throughout this entire journey, we knew we had made the perfect choice in choosing Yuri to guide us through the entire process.”
“The entire process became smoother, more accessible, and highly professional — everything you could hope for from a designer guiding you through so many stages of planning a new apartment.”
“I recommend him wholeheartedly and can confidently say that you will not regret choosing him to design your next dream home.”
We met Yuri more than a year ago, when my elderly parents were looking for a talented designer to design their apartment following a TAMA 38 renovation project
Throughout this past year, we discovered a highly talented, open-minded, professional, and deeply dedicated designer.
Beyond his professionalism and attention to both small and large details, Yuri showed great sensitivity and a true understanding of my parents’ age and needs. He was always attentive to their requests and had the patience to explain everything clearly — sometimes more than once
We couldn’t have wished for a better designer.
Without him, both the renovation and design process — and the final result itself — would have been completely different
“We used Yuri’s services when purchasing our apartment, and received a truly personal experience throughout the entire process. Every one of our needs was addressed, and he was flexible and attentive to the things that mattered most to us.
Yuri has a forward-thinking vision — from the moment he saw the four walls of the apartment, he could already envision how each room would look and function, including the lighting and overall interior design.
The entire process, from purchase to moving in, lasted about a year, and Yuri was with us every step of the way — available by phone, through ongoing communication, during meetings at the apartment, and throughout supplier visits. He guided us in selecting everything: furniture, kitchen planning, lighting, curtains, and even bathroom accessories.”
“As a young couple with demanding jobs and a child, we simply didn’t have the time to search for professionals and suppliers ourselves. Yuri connected us with excellent professionals, and thanks to him, we received outstanding service from them as well.”
“Even after moving into the apartment, Yuri is still with us and continues helping us refine the smaller details that remain. We’re already looking forward to fully settling in so we can complete the final touches on our perfect home.
Thank you, Yuri!”
“Since working with Yuri, we continue to be amazed by the level of fine-tuning he brought into our apartment — the attention to even the smallest details that ultimately made such a significant difference.”
“We wholeheartedly recommend Yuri!
If you’re looking for a home designed down to the very smallest detail, Yuri is absolutely the right person for the job. Best of luck!”
“We came to Yuri Nulman after a disappointing experience with another designer.”
“Yuri designed our new apartment, including every room in the home. He demonstrated a high level of professionalism, tremendous patience, and genuine care — even in situations where he truly went beyond what was expected.”
“We received a stunning and truly exceptional result — beyond anything we had imagined.”
“We highly recommend Yuri Nulman — a wonderful person, pleasant to work with, and a top-level professional.”
I’m Yuri Nulman, an interior designer and the founder of YUNU DESIGN. Since 2013, I have been leading interior planning and design projects — including TAMA 38 apartments and new apartments through the tenant change process.
In new apartment projects, the value is not only in the design itself —
but in the ability to work within an existing framework and maximize its full potential:
I work through a genuine understanding of your needs —
translating them into a precise plan tailored to your apartment and the way you live.
The goal is not only to upgrade the apartment —
but to transform it into a home that feels right from the very first day.
If you’re about to renovate a commercial space —
this is exactly the stage where the right planning can make all the difference.
I’d be happy to get to know you, understand your needs,
and explore together how to create a home that feels precise, functional, and truly comfortable to live in.
