White Space in the White City

The 42 sqm skinny apartment, located in the heart of Tel Aviv, intended for a holiday home town for a family who likes to entertain guests has transformed by Interior designer Yael Perry into a minimalist white bright space.

The apartment was renovated & include a bright living space, kitchen, one bedroom & a wide bathroom. The apartment, is long and narrow – the public space measurements is 11 metres in length and 3.3 metres in width. Pre-renovation, there was no storage place, no wardrobe in the bedroom & a tiny bathroom.

The designer who wanted provide a sense of unique aesthetic, continuity, wide and brighter space, chose to design the apartment in one shade of colour - WHITE. The apartment’s floor was covered with a beautiful minimalistic white parquet, the walls were painted in extra white colour and all carpentry & furniture items were designed in white as well.

The entrance: Pre-renovation, bathroom’s door was located in front of the apartment entrance. All internal walls were destroyed & a new entryway was created. a functional minimalist white closet was custom made for the new entryway & used for storage & a place for the washing machine.

Modular living room: The customer asked to include her own furniture in the living room, Parabel dining table by Eero Aarnio and four Kite chairs by Karim Rashid. The uniqueness of the furniture affected the project’s plan & the conceptual design of the project.

The space was too narrow to accommodate a small living room and dining room furniture; therefore, the living room furniture is used for the dining area as well. The furniture can be moved around the living room space per the customer needs; for accommodation use, to watch TV and can be moved to the kitchen area. two shelves were hung on the living room wall for art books, magazines and artifacts.

Kitchen: In order to create a functional kitchen with many storage space in this tiny apartment, the kitchen was placed along the apartment & Integrated electric appliances were placed in the kitchen cabinets in order to keep the kitchen narrow & minimal.

Bedroom: An internal wall separating the living room from the bedroom was replaced with a custom made closet that can be used for both spaces. On the living room side, it provides a mounting surface for a flat-screen TV, while on the bedroom side it is used as a wardrobe.

Bathroom: Minimalist, bright & wide bathroom was designed. The entire bathroom was covered with Carrara tiles & minimalist chrome taps were installed.
