This is a new commercial project, established within a space that previously served as a warehouse in a shell state, and was converted into a single-story space that seeks to create a clear disconnect from the external rhythm of the city in favor of a sense of calm, balance, and escapism.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Ofri Paz | STANNEL<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The initial brief, she said, &#8220;focused on creating a unique spa space in the heart of Jaffa that would combine a deep sense of relaxation with a meticulous and luxurious appearance,&#8221; with the goal being &#8220;to create a complete user experience with an emphasis on proper flow in the space.&#8221; From the outset, it was clear that this was a project that did not seek to settle for merely pleasant design, but rather to build a complete experience, one that began at the entrance and continued throughout the entire stay.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-3194\" src=\"https:\/\/stannelmarketplace.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/%D7%A6%D7%99%D7%9C%D7%95%D7%9D-%D7%A2%D7%A8%D7%9F-%D7%AA%D7%95%D7%A8%D7%92%D7%9E%D7%9F-6-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"625\" height=\"417\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-3200\" src=\"https:\/\/stannelmarketplace.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/%D7%A6%D7%99%D7%9C%D7%95%D7%9D-%D7%A2%D7%A8%D7%9F-%D7%AA%D7%95%D7%A8%D7%92%D7%9E%D7%9F-9-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"625\" height=\"417\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-3204\" src=\"https:\/\/stannelmarketplace.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/%D7%A6%D7%99%D7%9C%D7%95%D7%9D-%D7%A2%D7%A8%D7%9F-%D7%AA%D7%95%D7%A8%D7%92%D7%9E%D7%9F-11-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"625\" height=\"417\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The target audience was also precisely defined and influenced the planning decisions: &#8220;The target audience is an urban, conscious and aesthetic audience, seeking moments of detachment and calm within the intensive routine of life.&#8221; Accordingly, the space was designed for people who appreciate meticulous experiences, high-level design and a relaxed atmosphere that does not strain. Levy translated this into a quiet and restrained material language, based on a warm monochromatic palette, soft textures, wood, textiles and vegetation, alongside rounded lines and arched niches that add softness and flow.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As Levy explains, &#8220;The guiding principle in the design was to create a holistic wellness experience that combines calm, elegance and formal cleanliness,&#8221; and thereby also &#8220;to create escapism within the urban environment of Jaffa, a space that disconnects visitors from the external rhythm and introduces them to a world of peace and balance.&#8221; This idea is already present from the entrance: a warm sandy palette, walls with a light mineral finish, arched openings, a rounded reception desk, transparent curtains and tall vegetation create a soft and relaxing first encounter with the space. The soft lighting completes the feeling, while the seating items, upholstered benches and recessed decorative shelves strengthen the connection between comfort and aesthetics.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-3198\" src=\"https:\/\/stannelmarketplace.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/%D7%A6%D7%99%D7%9C%D7%95%D7%9D-%D7%A2%D7%A8%D7%9F-%D7%AA%D7%95%D7%A8%D7%92%D7%9E%D7%9F-8-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"625\" height=\"417\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-3184\" src=\"https:\/\/stannelmarketplace.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/%D7%A6%D7%99%D7%9C%D7%95%D7%9D-%D7%A2%D7%A8%D7%9F-%D7%AA%D7%95%D7%A8%D7%92%D7%9E%D7%9F-1-683x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"625\" height=\"937\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-3206\" src=\"https:\/\/stannelmarketplace.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/%D7%A6%D7%99%D7%9C%D7%95%D7%9D-%D7%A2%D7%A8%D7%9F-%D7%AA%D7%95%D7%A8%D7%92%D7%9E%D7%9F-12-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"625\" height=\"417\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-3192\" src=\"https:\/\/stannelmarketplace.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/%D7%A6%D7%99%D7%9C%D7%95%D7%9D-%D7%A2%D7%A8%D7%9F-%D7%AA%D7%95%D7%A8%D7%92%D7%9E%D7%9F-5-683x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"625\" height=\"937\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The internal division was formulated with a view to a complete and continuous user experience, so that the first area does not function only as a foyer or reception desk, but as a space for a gradual transition to the slower, more peaceful pace of the spa. Next to the entrance are the foot massage stations, an initial, pampering and liberating stage that prepares visitors for their continued stay in the space. From there, they progress to the more intimate treatment rooms through a long corridor, where a warm wood-tone fishbone floor, walls with a rough-subtle texture, bright doors and recessed lighting continue the language of the public space. Thus, the passage itself is not perceived only as a traffic axis, but as an integral part of the experience &#8211; gradual, restrained and deliberate.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">At the end of the runway, the bathrooms and lockers are located in a more private and intimate area, and the connection between design and atmosphere is also maintained. Here, Levy chose to create a slightly more dramatic contrast, but one that still remains within the general language: dark, smoky cladding, a black sculptural sink, a round mirror, and gold-toned accessories create a precise and intimate space, without being overwhelming. The overall result does not feel technical or overly calculated, but flows naturally, so that each area leads to the next one quietly and gradually, while combining clear operational logic with sensitivity to the user&#8217;s emotional experience.<\/span>Planning and design |<strong>Edith Levy, interior designer<\/strong>Photography |<strong>Eran Turgeman<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-3196\" src=\"https:\/\/stannelmarketplace.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/%D7%A6%D7%99%D7%9C%D7%95%D7%9D-%D7%A2%D7%A8%D7%9F-%D7%AA%D7%95%D7%A8%D7%92%D7%9E%D7%9F-7-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"625\" height=\"417\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-3188\" src=\"https:\/\/stannelmarketplace.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/%D7%A6%D7%99%D7%9C%D7%95%D7%9D-%D7%A2%D7%A8%D7%9F-%D7%AA%D7%95%D7%A8%D7%92%D7%9E%D7%9F-3-683x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"625\" height=\"937\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-3186\" src=\"https:\/\/stannelmarketplace.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/%D7%A6%D7%99%D7%9C%D7%95%D7%9D-%D7%A2%D7%A8%D7%9F-%D7%AA%D7%95%D7%A8%D7%92%D7%9E%D7%9F-2-683x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"625\" height=\"937\" \/><\/p>\n<p><strong>About the firm | Edith Levy<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Edith Levy founded her interior design studio in 2014, after retraining in the capital market and insurance sectors.
