In a 60-year-old building in Tel Aviv, Maayan Zusman and Amir Navon have transformed a run-down one-bedroom apartment into a vibrant and comfortable 55m² two-bedroom home. This renovation blends old and new elements, warm and cool materials, and custom-designed features, resulting in a space that feels both original and inviting.
A Transformation Rooted in Light and Comfort
The designers approached the project with a vision to create a home that balances personality and practicality. By reconfiguring the layout, they introduced a second bedroom and optimized the space to feel open and full of light. The apartment’s color palette and material choices harmonize to bring warmth and calm, while clever design touches enhance functionality.
A Fusion of Old and New
The apartment juxtaposes its historic character with contemporary updates. Thoughtfully chosen materials—such as wood and metal—blend warmth and coolness, creating visual interest. Custom-designed furniture and fixtures add a unique touch, ensuring every corner of the apartment feels intentional and cohesive.
Personalized Design for Daily Living
Almost every element in the apartment was custom-made, from the furniture to the lighting, tailoring the space to the needs and preferences of its inhabitants. These bespoke details not only maximize the functionality of the compact space but also inject a sense of originality that reflects the designers’ creative approach.
A Bright and Inviting Space
Natural light floods the apartment, enhancing the calming atmosphere created by the material palette and design choices. The thoughtful use of space ensures a sense of flow between the living areas, while the addition of a second bedroom adds versatility.
This Tel Aviv apartment is a testament to the power of thoughtful renovation. By blending old and new and prioritizing custom design, Maayan Zusman and Amir Navon have crafted a home that is both practical and full of character—an ideal retreat in the heart of the city.
