The Benisti-Booblil family’s new house, three spacious floors in Ashkelon, has an abundance of light, a fun yard with a pool in the center and a kitchen that makes all her dreams come true. The house is in a new neighborhood in the northern area of Ashkelon, near the sea. It is built on a plot of half a dunam, and the family; Einav, her husband Eli Benisti and their five children, have been living there for a few months. Booblil was born and raised in Ashkelon, and previously lived in a rented private house. “The house is the fulfillment of my dream. Everyone dreams of getting their own property with a place for children. I dreamed of a large yard where you can host family and friends, where there is always a place to sit and even sleep. I dreamed of it even when I had a small house. That I can go to my world and leave something for the children, that they can divide between them and everyone will have something.”
Sally Chaprak, also from Ashkelon and owner of a studio in Jaffa, also designed the rented house in Ashkelon where the couple lived before. When they asked to build a house for the first time, they turned to her again to work closely with the architect and lead the interior design.
The pool can be seen from the living room as a focal point in the space. Niso’s outdoor furniture, which includes a long sofa from the ‘Doubale’ model, two ‘Duba’ armchairs, a ‘Flower’ coffee table and a ‘Z’ side table, are joined together with the highlight – the three crazy tanning beds from the ‘Nemo’ model in a special orange color.
