For architect Keren Lizarowitz, designing a home begins long before the first line is drawn. It begins with understanding the people who will live there, how they move, what they need and, perhaps most importantly, how they want to feel.<\/p>\n

\u201cI am responsible for the peace of the house,\u201d she says, a statement that captures much of her approach to architecture. Each project is developed through an ongoing dialogue with the client, built on patience, trust and careful observation. The ambition is not simply to create something beautiful, but to design a home that remains relevant for years, distinguishing between what is merely fashionable and what has the potential to endure.<\/p>\n

\u201cI tailor each project to the client,\u201d Lizarowitz explains. \u201cI listen to what they ask for, but also look for the things I discover during the process, the needs and desires they may not necessarily know how to articulate themselves.\u201d<\/p>\n

It is here that her approach moves beyond aesthetics. For Lizarowitz, architecture has the ability to influence behaviour, relationships and the way people experience everyday life. Practical planning is therefore inseparable from emotion and an understanding of the psychology of space.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs a planner, I create patterns of behaviour, so I also examine the psychology behind the decisions we make. A double height space, for example, can create an impressive architectural moment, but it also creates a relationship between floors. In an office, shared spaces can encourage eye contact and spontaneous encounters between people.\u201d<\/p>\n

This awareness brings with it responsibility. Every wall, opening and spatial connection has the potential to shape the lives taking place around it.<\/p>\n

\u201cPlanning affects the reality of the people using the space,\u201d she says. \u201cI take full personal and professional responsibility for that.\u201d<\/p>\n

It is a philosophy that allows Lizarowitz to balance experience with curiosity, combining the professional knowledge accumulated over years of practice with an eye on contemporary architecture and design in Israel and internationally. The result is an approach that does not pursue trends for their own sake, but is equally unafraid to take risks when the project calls for them.<\/p>\n

Because for Lizarowitz, a successful home is not defined only by how it looks when it is finished.<\/p>\n

It is defined by how well life unfolds within it.<\/p>\n

It’s a boutique office. I know each member of the family and there’s a personal connection between us. I know everything about them, I have like a library in my head about each client.” Beyond mapping needs and personal style, she also examines habits that affect the peace of the home and the family dynamics: “For example, if one member of the family tends to cook late, then I might consider separating the kitchen from the shared spaces. And if the children throw their bags and coats in the entrance, then I’ll design a wide and comfortable entryway closet, which will allow the parents to enjoy a tidy home easily.”<\/span><\/p>\n

She harnesses all of this into a contemporary approach, combining timeless planning with bold and unique touches.<\/span><\/p>\n

“The world is developing, technology is changing, and it’s important for me to be familiar with current techniques, materials, and practices. This is an expensive field, and there are infrastructures that can be prepared in advance and choices that can save the client significant expenses during the project and in the future.”<\/span><\/p>\n

Every such detail is important to the entire planning.”<\/span><\/p>\n

It is clear that Keren takes into account all the layers of the design process: from the practicalities of budget, maintenance and durability, to the psychological-energetic layer of the effect of color and texture on users. “Everyone has colors, materials and styles that suit them. For example, there will be a client who will need brighter colors to warm up the house, and in the office I will combine colors that encourage closing deals,” she expands. She strives for temporary homes that stand the test of time, and uses precise visualizations, which allow clients to understand the full range of decisions and choices before they are even implemented on the ground. With this certainty, she can also carefully incorporate special items that have a statement, such as a unique stone, an artistic piece or an unusual piece of furniture.<\/span><\/p>\n
