The Story Behind My Approach
Interior design has always been connected to people for me.
Growing up in Jaffa, I saw many different ways of living. In some homes, every corner had to serve more than one purpose. A curtain might divide a bed from the living room.
A wardrobe sometimes acted as a wall.
At the same time, I stepped into larger homes filled with art, history, and culture.
Those contrasts shaped my approach. They showed me that design is powerful when it makes life easier, more comfortable and more meaningful.
Homes in Israel and Their Rhythm
Homes in Israel are unique. They are smaller than in many other countries and family life is vibrant and full of movement.
A living room is where children play, where friends gather and where daily life constantly shifts.
Kitchens are not only for cooking but also for conversation and connection.
Balconies and gardens often extend the living space and blur the line between indoors and outdoors.
Designing here means planning every square meter carefully while keeping the space warm, beautiful and of course personal.
This is how I build my interior design concepts around:
Mediterranean Light, Color, and Materials
Light is another defining element.
Mediterranean sun is strong and changes the way colors appear.
Whites look sharper here. Earth tones feel different.
When I choose colors, I think about how they react to the light during the day and how they create atmosphere in the evening.
Textures are equally important. Natural stone, terrazzo and wood cool the home in summer.
Linen and cotton soften the intensity of the sun. These materials do more than look good, they belong to the climate and to the way Israelis live.
Designing with Israel’s Unique Challenges
There are also challenges that are uniquely Israeli.
The MAMAD , the reinforced room built for safety is one of them.
While its structure is heavy, it can still become a warm and inviting space.
With the right design, it can serve as a study, a child’s room, or even a personal retreat.
I see it as an opportunity to turn something technical into something human.
Making Space Work Smarter
Because so many homes here are compact, proportion plays a central role.
Furniture that is too large makes a room feel smaller. Pieces chosen with the right scale open the space and allow it to breathe.
Custom carpentry, built-in storage, and thoughtful layouts often make the biggest difference between a home that feels crowded and one that feels effortless.
The Heart of My Philosophy
My philosophy is that a home should reflect the people who live in it. It should breathe with them, support their daily rhythm and carry their personal story.
Design is a language that translates life into form, texture, and atmosphere.
From Listening to Living Spaces
When I work with clients, I listen first. I want to know how they live, what matters to them, and what makes them feel at home. From that understanding, I create spaces that feel timeless, personal, and functional. Whether it is a small apartment in Tel Aviv or a villa overlooking the Mediterranean, the goal remains the same:
to create a home that feels alive and deeply connected to its people.
