This penthouse apartment, located on the 21st floor of an apartment block in central Israel was bought by a family of six. The owners wanted a “Villa in the clouds”, in the sense that the property, spreading across 220 sqm of living space, and a 170 sqm balcony, would incorporate all the functionalities that standard private homes have, such as a family room, a wide corridor and a stunning outdoor space. Designer Nitzan Horowitz, who was hired to manage the renovation, designed the apartment in a way that would accommodate the family’s needs. The project started on the day the first set of keys was received and lasted seven months.
As the name evokes, the house is hinged around a Mulberry tree that was the only feature of a barren site. This Mulberry tree was a very old and mature landscape element when the site was first visited. The placement of the tree became the paramount device to configure the residence design that gave the house its unique identity.
Developed from the simplicity of the Modern-Minimal Style, the house is decorated with only a few numbers of items, yet all are incredibly unique and reflective of the owner’s character. Unintentionally, the understated elements of modern industrial materials such as steel, mirror, and other materials whose true, natural attributes are left exposed, are combined and integrated to the house’s Mid-Century aesthetics.
The house is among over 10 residences the owner owns, and each has its own highly unique character and identify. MAISON T. is designed to be a party house to accommodate gatherings and parties between friends and acquaintances with a high level of privacy and safety in the time of COVID-19.

The APA Apartment is a project developed to create a harmonious and full of life home for a family with young children. Inserted in a privileged location in the Batel neighborhood, in Curitiba, the 290m2 apartment has a modern and sophisticated essence, with ample spaces and designed in an integrated way to better meet the needs of customers. The initial plan, where the kitchen and balcony were isolated from the other living environments, was modified in order to integrate the spaces, generating a single and wide area where the family’s day-to-day activities converge, in an architecture designed to promote meetings. One of the rooms of the original plan was also removed, creating an office and increasing the living area, the space in the house where life takes place.
The house is part of a small city renovation in the west of Amsterdam. Ten self-build houses and three collective housing projects share a mutual semi private entrance road. The road connects to the gardens of the houses while the main entrances are located on the park side.
The brief was to design a family house with 3 bedrooms, an office and a room for rent. Due to the orientation without a south facade, bringing in direct sunlight to the house, as deep as possible, was an essential task. Key element here is the introduction of a patio on the 2nd floor in between the kitchen and living room. This semi outdoor space acts as ventilation space, a sound sheltered outdoor, and light vent.

In scarce 122 square meters Casa Momoto is developed making reference in each of its details to the bird which the house is named after; the mayan blue, the neutral elements like a canvas for the color pallete in the plumage and the simplicity of its habitat.
The heart of the space is a small pool that envelops the bedrooms and the common areas, making a reminiscence of the cenotes in the peninsula.

Creating a balance between the surrounding nature and the family’s hectic, busy and urban life, House in the Woods was designed by the Istanbul-based interior design studio Ofist with using simple, familiar materials and meticulous implementations.
One of the wooden houses of Kemer Country premises in Istanbul, House in the Woods was over modernized, disconnected from its surroundings, and lost its connection with the habitat. Ofist’s involvement had started at the beginning of the pandemic, as the clients had to move in a very short period, like one month. Naturally, Ofist’s approach was to avoid too much interference with the infrastructure. Instead, the focus has been on clever touches and personalizing the house for its new residents. It was aimed to create a balance between the surrounding nature and the family’s hectic, busy, urban life.
