Urban Refuge Residence in Tel Aviv

February 11, 2025

Baranowitz + Kronenberg unveiled the studio’s interior design concept for a 47 square metres urban refuge in the heart of Tel-Aviv. Situated in one of Tel-Aviv’s finest Art Deco buildings, in the vibrant Levontin neighbourhood, the compact residence has been the subject of an exceptional architectural redesign, creating a one-bedroom apartment that blends functionality, creativity, and tranquility.

 

 

Envisioned as a working space that is an extension of the owner’s home, the apartment is conceived in a continuous palette of Douglas-Fir wood, instilling a sense of warmth and refuge from the outside world. Its unified presence and biophilic design aim to evoke a yearning to be immersed in nature even when it is physically out of reach. The luminous hues and inherent ridges of the Douglas-Fir wood radiate a calming yet invigorating energy that offers a refined backdrop for the owner’s long hours of work.

 

 

The space is characterised by a continuous mono-material, without losing its moments of discovery and surprise. It unfolds in an ‘L’ shaped sequence, where each space seamlessly blends and flows together to create one identity throughout. Pushing the boundaries of residential design showcases the studio’s commitment to innovation and their ability to create spaces that transcend conventional norms.

The project spotlights the excellent usage of repurposing a space, enhanced through untraditional methods that amplify every section of the space for a useful purpose.
