Israeli architects transform an abandoned storage building into a flexible, cozy home

Israeli architects, Ron Shenkin and Adva Ben have turned trash to treasure in this renovation that saw the architects turn an abandoned storage building into a modern and cozy home for themselves. Their renovation of the 645-square-foot abandoned storage space created a singular space that can change function. Partitions, wardrobes, bed and couches were designed to move and transform this once-dilapidated building, into a modern-day architectural chameleon.

The building features large steel beams painted in a bright red color that give character to the space and dominate its design.

The dining space includes a table constructed of wood off-cuts that were pieced together to form a large smooth surface.

The top is set on upcycled, mismatched iron bars of varying sizes and colors.

The couch was constructed using an iron frame with a steel netting on top of which rests a large mattress, and is completely mobile and adjustable.

The bed was also designed with mobility in mind and can be converted into additional seating.

Convertibility and multi-functionality of the house transform the architects' living space into a dynamic environment.
