An Israeli Contemporary
House R, in Kfar Yedidia, Israel
In a departure from all things DC real estate, UrbanTurf takes a closer look at a home that we recently spotted over on the blog designboom.
Open living area
Israeli architecture firm Sharon Neuman recently completed “House R” in the town of Kfar Yedida. The exterior, flooring and patio are all constructed of smooth, giant slabs of concrete with the exterior made of rectangular solids, offset to provide shading.
The lower level has an open floor plan, and the rooms are distinguished from each other by their varying ceiling heights; the living room ceiling rises up two stories, but the dining room is capped off at one. Like many contemporaries, it has huge windows and clean lines everywhere, as well as a number of hidden drawers and cabinets.
Neuman is a young designer who has been getting attention for her warm, modern and client-centered work. Usually designing for a Mediterranean climate, Neuman creates spaces that are breezy, open, adapt to the changing needs of families and have thoughtful outdoor areas.
