The owners of the house, a couple + 3, who live in one of the moshavs in Sharon, decided that after two years of living in the house they built, they are ready to design it and bring life to it. "It started with a phone call, in which they described to me how much they don't connect to the house, and that they lack peace and calm, they lack the feeling of warmth at home," says designer Moran Werner Seido Studio.
When they finished building the house, they filled it with their existing objects, incorporated the furniture from the previous house but still remained with the feelings of a bare and boring space, with a feeling of emptiness and a gloomy atmosphere. "When I first came to them, I experienced the feeling they described to me in the phone call, the house is large with a high ceiling, the central space was mostly empty and without much atmosphere, I immediately saw the potential in the house.
Although they were sure they knew what they wanted, we decided to put the Their thoughts aside and I asked them to describe to me the feelings and emotions they would like to feel in the house. With that we set out and started with our vision, they asked for a house that would be an anchor, that would inspire peace and calm and that would be suitable for entertaining and including family and friends, a house that they would want to stay in for a long time, and that would also be A wide open house. "After detailing the needs, desires and atmosphere that she so desired, we divided the planning into parts. We decided to take care of the entrance to the house, the large and empty public space and the bedroom."
At the entrance to the house there is a large and wide wooden door through which you can feel the warmth and peace. "I decided to continue the warmth with a greenish wall that will stick out through the door, to which the eye is drawn as soon as you enter the house. This moment when you enter from the outside and meet the wall painted in a soft shade, created for me and for them the feeling of peace they were looking for." The living space, which is used as the public space for everyday life, is a high space with a sloping ceiling of exposed wooden beams in a light natural shade, with large iron showcase windows that let in the light, and through which the abundant green yard from nature is reflected.
"In this space, we applied Araba plaster to the central and present wall of the house and turned the house from banal to a house with a statement! The wall created for us the warm atmosphere we were looking for and under its influence we began to dress up the space. We combined natural materials, to connect and create a warm and enveloping atmosphere, we added furniture in light colors and clean lines, In combination with a solid wood TV cabinet and a large solid wood dining table as well, with a bench and rattan chairs to complete the design line. It is impossible to ignore the lighting fixture made of rope that connects perfectly to the plaster wall."
On the way to the parents' unit, which is on the first floor separate from the children's rooms, Werner Studio incorporated ethnic items in the hallway that symbolize the love of the house's residents for style, and bring interest and warmth to the home. The master suite, large and luxurious, is designed with custom carpentry: "The wooden floor gives a feeling of a stable and anchored base, and in the center is a wide bed, backed by a wavy carpentry wall in a powder shade that gives softness and peace. The bed is located next to an iron display case that serves as an exit to the yard and brings a lot of natural light into the space, from which the garden is also reflected Next to the bed, we added a comfortable rocking chair with a wide, round rug underneath to define the area. Today, there is no one happier than her for the size, and grateful for every nook and cranny of the house, which is full of warmth, softness, roots and family."
And finally, she concludes: "There is no doubt that thanks to the flow of the home owners with the design line that they specified and with the special wall that created the character of the house, we were able to change its atmosphere and created the pleasant and peaceful house that they live in today."
