A young family's remodeled bright and minimalist apartment, originally built in the late sixties.
Nestled in Jerusalem's Katamon neighborhood, this 75-square-meter apartment, located on the top floor of a 1960s building, has been thoughtfully renovated to harmonize modern comforts with its inherent modest charm. The homeowners valued the apartment’s original qualities and aimed to update its infrastructure while preserving its character.
Previously rented to roommates, the apartment’s layout was outdated. The new design is tailored for a young family, ensuring a functional and harmonious flow. Near the entrance, the children's room, their bathroom, and a large concealed laundry area are conveniently located. The living room, dining area, and kitchen share a spacious open-plan layout, stretching from a balcony overlooking the urban landscape to a pastoral kitchen window framed by treetops, creating a serene and inviting atmosphere.
The master suite's minimalist design offers a tranquil retreat from daily life. Design choices like pocket doors and golden faucets add a touch of elegance and maturity. It features a large wardrobe, a private bathroom, and access to the full-length balcony adorned with herb pots and a natural cotton-colored fabric awning for shade. The balcony’s light clay plastered fence, combined with delicate patterned flooring and textiles, enhances the Mediterranean aesthetic.
Full-height built-in closets blend seamlessly with the wall color, offering a clean and minimalist look. Both bathrooms feature the same series of tiles and faucets, creating a cohesive aesthetic. The children's bathroom exudes a playful vibe with pink tiles and brushed chrome faucets, while the parents' bathroom showcases an emerald accent wall paired with golden fixtures, complemented by an open bamboo shelf vanity. Natural matte wood parquet in a soft olive hue adorns the bedrooms, adding a warm and intimate feel.
This renovation strikes a perfect balance between preserving the apartment’s historical charm and introducing modern, functional elements, making it a comfortable and welcoming home for a contemporary family.
