Afeka Home by Axelrod Architects in partnership with Pitsou Kedem Architect is, just place, a gallery of light. This awe-inspiring contemporary dream home in Tel Aviv beams with refracted organic light inside a series of linear volumes across its virtually 3,800 square feet.
From the street viewpoint, the two-story box-like structure sits discreetly. As soon as inside the single-household property, 1 can see how nicely this facade deceived, as the pure white creating opens up with movement and spaciousness. So intriguing are the array of glazings, which magnificently blur the lines between the portion of the residence which remains inside and what is shared with the outdoors.
It is the double-story living area that holds center stage. Minimalistically furnished and produced with a severely restrained colour palette in mind–in truth, the entire home is–this relaxation and gathering location is abundantly airy with soaring ceilings that somehow infuse a calm into the huge space.
A shared dining room and kitchen receives a decrease level ceiling, but that ceases to hinder any of that openness as the entire wall of fully retractable glass takes this zone 1 step additional to the elongated, tree-lined swimming pool just outside along the wooden terrace. A mezzanine rests above the snow-white kitchen and black-and-white dining space location, gracefully showcasing an invisible glass railing which can be visually-penetrated from the principal living region of this contemporary dwelling.
I’m consistently smitten by staircases and this white-on-white cabled version is no exception. Nestled into a vertical slot, it ascends all levels of the house. Huge glass windows and a connecting rooftop skylight formed into a appropriate angle pour light into this sleek nicely. Just wonderful! An upstairs indoor-outside hallway is a continuation of the stairs, which reaches around and wraps the house via a second-story privacy wall protecting the sleeping areas.
Afeka Home is a modern dream residence, portraying how an architect’s expertise of adhering to simplicity, subdued elegance and modesty, actually creates a design masterpiece.
