Bachelor Businessman Transforms Ramat Gan Apartment Into Dramatic Music-Focused Home
A single businessman recently purchased a 140-square-meter apartment in Ramat Gan through the "Price for Residents" program after years of living in central Tel Aviv. Interior designer Sisi Erezi from Studio 73 customized the originally five-room apartment into a four-room space tailored to the owner's tastes and lifestyle. The redesign features a large central open area and a special acoustic room dedicated to the owner's growing passion for music, particularly electric guitar.
The apartment is decorated in a dramatic monochromatic palette dominated by shades of gray and black, with light parquet flooring throughout. The entrance opens into an expanded central space, created by removing a previous teen unit that blocked natural light and flow. A striking iron partition divides the living room and work corner, where custom dark gray cabinetry displays the owner's collection of Kung Fu figurines. The living room includes a light gray wooden slat feature wall with mounted TV, dark gray shelving for the owner's alcohol collection, and Italian-imported gray sofa and armchairs.
The kitchen was enlarged from its original small U-shape to two parallel rows of black cabinets with a matching black island topped with textured gray and white stone. Although the owner rarely cooks and declined a formal dining area, the island is surrounded by six chairs arranged to comfortably host up to five guests.
Opposite the kitchen is the music room, converted from a former bedroom, painted in dark gray to create depth and drama. It features a large graffiti wall sticker inspired by Pink Floyd's "The Wall," the owner's guitar collection displayed on the walls, a lounge sofa, and a high-quality sound system. Glass-paneled doors with black frames, echoing the apartment's recurring stripe motif, separate the music room and master bedroom. The master bedroom walls are half-covered with dark gray wood slats, and a large built-in wardrobe includes a TV facing the bed.
The apartment retains the original shelter room, laundry, service balcony, and two bathrooms, which were mostly untouched during renovation. Overall, the design transforms a standard developer apartment into a modern, masculine home reflecting the owner's personal style and hobbies.
