Blue Bay Apartment by Dudu Cohen offers a serene lifestyle framed by the vast Mediterranean Sea. With four-meter-high ceilings and expansive windows, the home embraces light, air, and breathtaking views. Every design decision reflects the sound of the waves and the rhythm of the sand, translating the surrounding landscape into a refined interior language.
Living by the Sea
The apartment was designed for Briga Real Estate in collaboration with CEO Ronen Briga, along with project managers Yair Kahlon and Tomer Alfasi. The vision was simple yet powerful: create comfortable, elegant living directly inspired by the sea. Soft tones of white and brown define the palette, while walnut and brushed brass add warmth and sophistication.
A Kitchen Designed for Connection
At the heart of Blue Bay Apartment lies a kitchen created with Habitat and Poliform, specially manufactured in Italy. Its four-meter-long island, crafted from Taj Mahal stone by Fervital, balances practicality with elegance. This central element not only supports cooking but also fosters conversation and entertaining. Above, custom glass lighting fixtures—made using a unique blacksmithing process—reflect the home’s height and grandeur.
Thoughtful Details and Hidden Solutions
In the corner between the living room and hallway, a tall eucalyptus bookcase with brushed brass shelves conceals structural and technical systems. This integration ensures the design remains clean and open. Large-format tiles define the bathrooms, complemented by walnut cabinets and white Corian. Warm lighting, both in mirrors and walls, enhances the sense of intimacy.
Furniture and Textiles
Furnishings were carefully chosen with Tollman’s and imported from Italy, including a Saba sofa, Bonaldo armchairs, and beds. Soft natural fabrics and light textiles provide balance to the structured architecture. Working with Ella Decor, decorative pillows, bedspreads, and bedding were tailored for each bedroom, creating a cohesive and calming atmosphere.
A Home of Calm and Elegance
Blue Bay Apartment by Dudu Cohen captures the essence of Mediterranean living. By weaving together natural materials, custom details, and a refined palette, the project delivers a home that feels both elegant and deeply connected to the sea. Ultimately, Blue Bay Apartment offers a sanctuary of light, warmth, and tranquility.
