A completely renovated first apartment
Fri, 13 Aug 2010We received an email from Ron and it started off like this: "I'm 27 years old and live in Tel Aviv Israel, currently an industrial design student. Me and my girlfriend just bought our first apartment and decided to design it completely by ourselves." Now before I continue I have got to show you a few of the before photos.
And some info on what went on after they had their way with their new apartment:
"In short we re-did the whole place:
Tore down the wall in the kitchen opening it up to the living room and dining area.
United the the bathroom making one long and spacious bathroom
Made the bedroom bigger by closing a indoor balcony.
A bar that comes out of the wall.
I personally designed and built most of the items seen in the pictures:
Large wall clock
Floating unit below the tv
round table and red chairs
table, pipe lamp and the cats playing area which is hung in the red room
faucet in the bathroom
wooden bar
lights in the living room (with red cords)
bed and side table in bedroom. "
I cannot even put into words how in awe I am of Ron's talent. Seriously. This apartment is FULL of creative and such well-executed items. See for yourselves. (I told him I may steal the cat play area idea). Check out his website HERE.
And SO MUCH MORE after the jump.

These designs are amazing! I love the clock design. Very creative.
Brilliant - thank you! I passed this on to my younger daughter who is studying Architecture, and btw I bought some IKEA chest-of-drawers and, thou they are now showing signs of wear and tear, they are still being used after 40!!! years. Is this a record?, lol
OK, I am in awe. This is the ish right there. i totally agree that student or not you are so hired. I loooooove everything about the redesign. I don't know where to start from. I certainly would love to live in an apartment like this someday too. Kudos
Love it--from the big wall clock made up of smaller clock to the fun plumbing light fixtures!
Too neat! I love the wall clock of clocks! I wish the cat walk boards on the wall had some type of cushion. I LOVE LOVE LOVE this apartment! great job :)
Wow! Wow! Wow! I'm in the process of renovating a kitchen using top notch designers!! I think you beat them all!! PS: Can I have your cat??
What an amazing transformation! I love all the innovative details.
Awesome...I love modern and contemporary decor.
That is really unique. I like to do things like that. I have a huge collection of gears and stuff and you have given me ideas of how to incorporate them in my design. Thanks
Breathtaking...... I'm so inspired.
What an amazing remodel! I love that crazy clock wall. The faucet in the bathroom is amazing!
That's so cool! Esp. the colors and the modern designs.. really inspiring!
I think it is all a bit overdone :-(
I loved this and really i would love to live there!
I love these ideas and just might implement some!
What an exhaustive process that probably was! I would not have the patience and also lack the ingenuity for this kind of undertaking. Kudos to the designer for his resourcefulness, it's an amazing transformation!
I want the cat!
OH Wow! I love this! Especially the clock!
