The geometries of this apartment’s Bauhaus origins combine with natural materials and ‘vacation colours’ of the Mediterranean.
When Tel Aviv-based designers Ma/Deux Studio and Barcelona-based Szymon Keller were jointly engaged to work on a 100 square-metre residential apartment on the Mediterranean coast, the home was in its dilapidated, original state and in desperate need of attention.
The central beam became the conceptual “spine” of the home, a feature the designers chose to emphasise rather than conceal. “It’s the subtle dividing line between the more public zone and the private area,” Ma/Deux Studio co-founder Orit Singer says. “It sits on the seam between different functions, which we also expressed through distinct material transitions.”
