Sky-High Apartment

Renovation and interior design for a high-floor contractor apartment in Jerusalem, transforming a standard layout into a refined, contemporary home with warmth and character.

This project involved the renovation of a contractor-built apartment located on a high floor in Jerusalem.
The original layout was standard and functional, typical of contractor apartments, and required thoughtful adjustments to better suit daily living and the clients’ lifestyle.

The design approach focused on creating a clean, contemporary interior while introducing warmth and depth through the use of natural materials—primarily wood—alongside carefully selected finishes and details. The balance between restraint and richness allowed the space to feel modern, calm, and inviting at the same time.

Spatial planning was refined to improve flow, light, and usability, while maintaining a clear and uncluttered aesthetic. Custom elements and material choices were developed to add character and softness, transforming the apartment from a generic unit into a personal, well-defined home.

A Sense of Space

A continuous visual connection from the living room extends through the foyer and dining area. The absence of partitions allows the spaces to flow together, creating an open, airy, and breathable environment.

Living Room – Foyer – Dining Area

From the entrance, a spacious public area unfolds with a clean, contemporary expression. The living room and dining area are arranged within an open plan—visually connected and in constant dialogue, while each zone remains clearly defined and independent.

Living Room

The living room is designed as an inviting and elegant space—one that comfortably accommodates both formal hosting and relaxed, everyday use.

Looking Towards the Dining Area and Kitchen

Here, the material palette gains a sense of height, drawing the eye toward the balcony and the view beyond. The landscape is framed in black aluminum, transforming it into a living work of art within the interior.

The Kitchen

A wall of tall cabinets houses the kitchen systems and generous storage, while a long work surface runs through the space and extends seamlessly into a breakfast counter.

Master Bedroom Ensuite

While the apartment maintains a clean, contemporary expression, the bedroom and ensuite receive a softer treatment. Here, the material palette shifts toward warmer tones and richer colors, creating a more intimate, inviting atmosphere—elegant, calm, and harmonious.

The Bedroom

Warm materials and soft green tones enrich the contemporary base, creating an intimate space connected to the view beyond the window.

Bathrooms

Rounded motifs recur throughout the space, expressed in the cabinetry details, lighting fixtures, taps, and even the window openings. Painted flooring in soft shades of blue and gray introduces a subtle Jerusalem character, adding depth and a touch of contrast to the room.

The custom carpentry integrates general storage and a concealed laundry compartment within the deeper section, while the narrower portion discreetly houses the service cabinet—maintaining a clean and composed appearance.

The design aims to offer the couple a sense of calm and escape—allowing their new home to feel like a refined, hotel-like retreat, even during everyday life.
