Tzvia Kazayoff has been shortlisted for the Interior Design Scheme – Middle East & Africas Award in The International Design and Architecture Awards 2022.

After years of living in aboard, Tzvia Kazayoff’s clients established their common home in their birthplace, Israel. The project began in a Jaffa neighbourhood called Ajami that faces the sea.

The property belongs to a couple, one a high-tech man and the other a media man, together with their beautiful newborn. As they started a family they wanted a home that was designed for their needs whilst embracing their country, community and surroundings. The property is a 190 sqm duplex penthouse with a direct elevator to the living room, with two large balconies of 150 sqm. The design is eclectic and incorporates mixed cultures within the context of the area, as well as satisfying the needs of the couple.

Thinking about their rituals as a young couple with a new baby, Tzvia Kazayoff created a custom design, emphasising the master bedroom as a temple for the couple. The entire design scheme was concentrated on the location, with the connection to the sea as well as the urban landscape. Additional openings and windows were opened in the project planning in order to reveal a permanent and direct connection to the sea. The connection between the eclectic design and the diverse neighbourhood in which the property is located cannot be ignored.

For Tzvia Kazayoff, what makes the design successful is the products that were created in the design of the house while constantly thinking about how they will live in it. It is this consideration for use and their clients, along with the connection to the neighbourhood and its cultural fabric, that makes this home effective.
