An Interior Surrounded by Nature House, Upper Galilee

The sizable two-level property includes large pampering family spaces and six fully equipped boutique-style suites.  Yehudit Schneider masterfully planned four-meter-high glass windows that run from the floor on the ground level, through to the ceiling on the top level, visually blurring any partition between the indoors and surrounding nature, creating a light, airy, and spacious feel. With the intent of maximizing ceiling height, Schneider created a split level that adds extra headroom to the lounge and dining area. 

The property was designed in a minimalist style in terms of materials and color scheme, providing a neutral backdrop to the breathtaking view. The clients asked Schneider to create a clean and bright property, in shades of gray and white, combined with wooden materials. The monochrome colors contribute to a minimalist look that sets the stage for the vibrant colors of the nature surrounding the property. The ground level includes a lounge, kitchen, and dining area. A floating ceiling creates a clean look and adds visual richness along with the lighting fixtures that surround the ceiling and create a halo effect. The guest toilets are different from the en-suite bathrooms and are fitted with glossy black tiles with gold veins, for a luxurious look. 

The kitchen combines oak and charcoal nano, also used for the island. The countertop is a delicately veined granite porcelain that incorporates a spacious island, which can accommodate six diners. It was cleverly designed to be practical for events as well as social gatherings. A large extending table was positioned in the adjacent dining area, for easy entertaining. Its color scheme continues that of the kitchen and the island. The family space includes an electric fireplace that adds a romantic and cozy touch, and a very large plasma screen tv, all surrounded by glass windows overlooking the view. A wide lounging sofa, with pale-blue scatter cushions, was positioned in the lounge area, alongside a rug in colors that correspond with the blue of the pool reflecting through the windows.
