Designing a private home is a collaborative process.
It is based on open dialogue, attentive listening, and a deep understanding of the clients’ needs, alongside architectural thinking that translates lifestyle and aspirations into a precise and well-balanced home. The design process includes the architectural language of the façade, interior spatial planning, and the relationship between public and private areas - elements that significantly shape the atmosphere and experience of the home.
The process begins with a personal meeting aimed at gaining an in-depth understanding of you and your lifestyle. During this meeting, we explore your needs, preferences, and planning priorities: number of rooms, preferred architectural and design style, and how you use the various spaces - kitchen, living area, bedrooms, and additional rooms (for example: keeping kosher, frequent cooking and hosting, working from home, and more). This stage defines the vision and aspirations for your new home, from which the core planning principles are derived, enabling accurate and thoughtful solutions from the very beginning.
Based on the initial meeting, the conceptual and schematic design phase begins. At this stage, we examine spatial distribution, natural flow within the home, interior-exterior relationships, and adaptation to the site and plot dimensions. The defined needs and aspirations are integrated into the design to create a harmonious, functional, precise, and aesthetic environment. In a follow-up meeting, we will review the alternatives together, evaluate advantages and disadvantages, and refine the most suitable direction.
This stage includes full architectural design of both the interior and exterior of the house: facades, materials, openings, connection to the yard and site topography, with careful consideration of air orientation, natural light, and shading - key elements that directly influence living quality and architectural experience.
Once the design is finalized, preparation of the permit submission drawings begins. The plans are prepared in accordance with the requirements of the local municipality or council and submitted for building permit approval. This process typically takes several months, until final approval is granted and construction may begin.
While awaiting permits, we proceed with preparing the full set of construction drawings for the contractor.
The drawing set includes:
• Architectural plans
• Sections and elevations
• Electrical and lighting plans
• Plumbing plans
• HVAC and ceiling coordination plans
• Aluminum / glazing plans
Once construction and purchases are complete, the final styling phase begins. Furniture, textiles, artwork, and accessories are placed and arranged, completing the overall look and transforming the house into a cohesive, refined, and welcoming home.
An additional introductory meeting is held, followed by a focused review of your needs and priorities, with emphasis on meaningful design decisions and alignment with the predefined budget.
The material selection process begins with flooring, wall finishes, and sanitary fixtures. These selections form the design foundation of the home and define its overall architectural language. Based on the chosen materials, detailed flooring plans and tile layouts are prepared for execution.
According to the approved kitchen layout, detailed carpentry drawings are prepared. These plans serve as a basis for obtaining quotes from kitchen companies or a custom carpenter. The design includes specifications for finishes, cladding, façade samples, wood elements, and detailing—all aligned with the home’s overall design language.
Carpentry planning is carried out with a deep understanding of the family’s needs, focusing on storage solutions, functionality, and precision. The chosen design concept guides every stage - from material and color selection to final detailing. Special attention is given to finishes, handles, joinery details, and wood craftsmanship. This stage includes close coordination with the carpenter to ensure accurate execution of the design.
As part of the process, joint selection days are held, including:
• Furniture for all living spaces
• Lighting fixtures
• Wall colors / wallpapers / wall cladding
• Curtains, rugs, and textiles
• Accessories and greenery
Throughout construction, on-site meetings are held with various professionals. The service includes ongoing supervision and quality control in accordance with the approved drawing set, ensuring accuracy and high execution standards.
