Unwinding Space
Project Description
A gentle sense of movement unfolds through the home, where sculptural forms, natural materials, and quiet spaces exist in harmony.
At its heart, a flowing staircase connects the different levels, its delicate white metal structure and warm timber treads creating a subtle dialogue with the solid concrete column beside it. Lightness and weight, movement and stillness, find a delicate balance.
Originally two separate apartments, the residence has been transformed into a unified three-level home, where spatial challenges become opportunities for architectural expression.
Natural wood, exposed concrete, and white metal define a restrained yet warm material palette. Bespoke cabinetry becomes an extension of the architecture, concealing doorways and integrating everyday functions with precision and subtlety.
From the shared living spaces to the intimate retreat beneath the sloping roof, the home gradually reveals itself through movement, creating a quiet sense of discovery.
Tami Pampanel is an Israeli interior designer with a multidisciplinary background whose work explores the relationship between space, material, and movement.
She holds a B.Sc.T.E. degree from Tel Aviv University and studied Product Design at the Holon Institute of Technology (HIT).
Her professional journey began in product design and commercial exhibition design before she established her own interior design studio.
Specializing in the transformation of existing urban homes, she seeks to uncover the hidden potential of each space through thoughtful architectural interventions and meticulous attention to detail.
Her background in product design plays a central role in her approach to interiors. She often develops bespoke cabinetry and integrated furniture as architectural solutions, using precise, purpose-designed elements to redefine spatial relationships, improve functionality, and create a seamless dialogue between furniture and architecture.
Her work brings together sculptural expression and everyday functionality, creating distinctive, timeless interiors that respond to both the architecture and the people who inhabit it.
