We designed the renovation of a big house in Israel, situated in a Moshav – a peaceful agricultural community in the southern part of the country. Here is a feature in Houzz about this project.
The house is surrounded by a large garden, and originally there was no connection between the two, as you can see in the last four pictures of this gallery. The living room faced the side of the garden, and was a whole story higher than its main area, at the back of the house.
An important part of our job when we designed the renovation was to create a good connection between the house and the garden. We built a large wooden balcony outside the living room, on the same level as the living room.
This created a beautiful outdoor space – an area for dining and entertaining for the family, which quickly became the most important space in the house. A series of large wooden steps leads to the spacious back yard, and thus connects it to the living space.
