Exposed concrete inside for floors and ceilings – an architect’s house in Israel
The Israeli architecture firm Pitsou Kedem designed a house with a contemporary design for the architect himself. Similar to the architects’ projects, the building has a flat, rectangular appearance and Fair-faced concrete inside and found outdoors. Rough, unprocessed surfaces made of wood, steel and natural stone combined with endless window walls along the rooms are only a small part of the remarkable design. The result is a timeless, contemporary architectural object that hides all the functions and properties of a family house.
Exposed concrete inside and outside for the floor and ceiling in an architect’s house
The elongated rooms with exposed concrete inside for the floor and ceiling create a feeling of infinity. Natural light streams from one side to the other through the large glass fronts without window frames. Several eucalyptus trees can be seen in the garden and through the windows. The house is actually built on a slope and extends over two floors. The basement is not completely underground and accommodates the bedrooms. On the ground floor there is a living room with an open kitchen and dining area and of course an area for the architect’s children to play. The furniture is characterized by contemporary design using natural materials and fabrics by current artists.
