Watch Video of The Jaffa Penthouse, 1500 square meters single-family apartment at the John Pawson Hotel in Israel Tel Aviv architecture firms Pitsou Kedem and Baranowitz & Goldberg have used a sandy palette and sculptural details in this residence.

The home spans 1,500 square meters and features panoramic views of the historic Arab port city Jaffa, as well as the Mediterranean sea and Tel Aviv in the distance.

The penthouse apartment has six bedrooms, several sitting and dining areas, a kitchen, gym and study. Travertine stone columns are used as visual objects that help divide open sitting rooms into separated spaces.

"Stone sculptural partitions create separations between the different spaces, which on one hand divide and the other, connect, allowing a framed glance of what lies beyond."

The interiors have a pared-down aesthetic in cream tones, evocative of the Arab-style buildings that define Jaffa. The sandy Mediterranean beachfront close by also provided a reference point.

Local materials like limestone and wood are used prominently, alongside pale fabrics and light walls. Pops of blue, yellow and purple also feature.

A focal point of the interior design is a spiral staircase that accesses a rooftop patio, which is the same size as the interiors below.

The stair is located near the entrance in the middle of home's floor plan, which comprises three rectangular volumes that are arranged in a curved shape.

Because of the penthouse's numerous windows, almost all of the rooms can be opened up as indoor-outdoor spaces.

Almost all of the furniture is by B&B Italia, De Padova and Carl Hansen. A series of cream couches by B&B Italia define one part of the home, and is paired with rugs and oak coffee tables also by the Italian brand.

Another sitting area has curvy sofas by La Cividia, Carl Hansen oak armchairs and a Baxter white marble table. Chaise lounges are by Divani, while a glass table and armchair are by De Padova.

"We blended together the ancient and the contemporary influences in an abstract way, emulating the contrasts between the two in a harmonic and unified design," Pitsou Kedem said.
