Guy Velikson: “The choice of furniture and colors in the design of the home’s spaces was made with the cooperation of the customers and their personal taste, the preference of the children themselves, each one individually, as well as the desire to revive spaces that were not in use and give them life and visual use. The colors of the furniture were adjusted not only between the furniture items themselves but with reference to the spaces, Textiles, surfaces, carpentry and even the lighting.”
