Between the Waves and the White City, on the stunning coastline of Tel Aviv, where the sea meets the sky and the city touches dreams, stands a luxurious three-level penthouse. This marvel, offering breathtaking views of the Mediterranean Sea and Jaffa Port, was masterfully designed by architect and interior designer Kfir Galatia Azulay of KOT Architects. A true masterpiece, the project is not only visually stunning but also deeply inspiring, seamlessly blending raw nature with sophisticated urbanity. Galatia’s precise and creative planning tells a story of materials, light, and spaces, harmoniously woven together to create the perfect backdrop for the endless blue drama of the sea.
In the living room, situated before a magnificent view, the Rocket sofa takes center stage. This 2.5-meter sofa, upholstered in light woven fabric, features a right-side armrest, while its left side opens directly to the sea—inviting the waves inside, as if by design. Accompanying it is the Oscar chaise longue in the same fabric and the Lotus swivel chair, upholstered in an elegant fabric. Together, they sit on an amorphous rug, completing the delicate balance of the space. Strategically placed along a semi-straight wall, the sofa’s rounded shape perfectly complements its surroundings – practicality meeting poetry.
The bedroom, another gem in Galatia’s design, faces directly toward the sea through a massive window that brings the Mediterranean indoors. At its heart stands the Duba bed, with its rounded, soft design in a practical light fabric. Unattached to the wall, the bed proudly showcases its beautifully curved back, while behind it lies a stunning beige wardrobe with semi-transparent doors – a functional work of art that resonates with the rest of the home. Here, practicality merges with pure beauty – the convenient passage behind the bed and wardrobe adds a layer of usability alongside uncompromising design. Kfir Galatia Azulay has distilled the essence of every element, transforming this penthouse into a space where comfort, luxury, and brilliant planning meet in perfect harmony.
