Project description from design firms Dudu Cohen
Blue Bay top penthouse apartment, only 200 meters from the beach. Inspired by the sea, wind and sunset.
The entrance floor includes a large living room, a modern kitchen, and a formal dining area. Three bedrooms, lots of storage solutions and two large balconies, all with a breathtaking open view of a beautiful horizon.
On the upper floor there is additional bedroom, a rooftop terrace with an infinity pool, a dining area and a panoramic view of the mediterranean sea.
The apartment was designed for Briga Real Estate. The planning was done in collaboration with CEO Ronen Briga, and with Yair Kahlon and Tomer Alfasi, project managers on site. The idea is comfortable living by the sea.
The design is calm, pleasant and inviting. A beautiful range of light shades. Different tons of white and brown.
I added a sense of warmth using oak and brushed brass elements. The carpentry and all the furniture were designed specifically for the project.
The apartment is on the 16nd and 17rd floor, the view is breathtaking. Every time I visit the apartment, I go up to the roof for a moment to breathe in the sea, feel the wind and the sun.
The idea that was at the base of the design is frames of the landscape. The apartment is 4 meters high and the large windows face the endless view of the sea. My thought was to produce a beautiful frame in pleasant shades of sand.
I was looking for a formal and material expression of the feeling of the sea, the sound of the waves and the movement of the sand.
All carpentry and furniture work were done especially for this project. All textiles, carpets as well as bedding and pillows were specially sewn in accordance with the character and design of each space.
The kitchen was designed in collaboration with Habitat and Poliform, and was specially manufactured in Italy. four-meter-long island is made of a special Taj Mahal stone by fervital. The idea was to create a practical and functional kitchen that allows for both cooking and entertaining.
The design is clean and simple. Straight lines in warm colors. The height is reflected in both the cabinets and the lighting fixtures that hang above the island and dining table. The lighting fixtures are made of glass in a special blacksmithing process and were custom-made for this project.
For the bathrooms I chose large natural stone slabs, I wanted a beautiful and clean look. I love the movement of natural materials. The bathroom cabinets are walnut and clean white Corian. I incorporated warm and flattering lighting into the mirrors and walls, and I added a personal touch through accessories and styling.
The furniture was selected in collaboration with Tollman’s and was ordered from Italy. The sofa is from Saba; the armchairs and beds are from Bonaldo. I chose soft and natural fabrics, light shades. I was looking for silence and wanted to express it through textiles.
All of the textiles, decorative pillows, bedspreads and bedding were carefully selected in collaboration with Ella Decor and in accordance with each bedroom, to create a complete and cohesive look.
My wishful thinking was to create a pleasant living space facing the stunning view of the sea
