Interior Designer Creates Family Home Balancing Style and Function in Kibbutz Ammiad

Interior designer Reut Mor has completed her first personal project: designing a 250-square-meter family home in the expansion neighborhood of Kibbutz Ammiad. The house was built from scratch for her family of seven, including her husband, a CEO at Fox Group, and their five daughters. Collaborating with architect Revital Wolf, Mor aimed to create a home that balances the dynamic daily life of a large family with private, quiet spaces.

The two-story house features an open-plan ground floor with a living room, kitchen, dining area, three bedrooms, a family bathroom, and a laundry room leading to the backyard. The upper floor includes a floating gallery overlooking the main space, an additional bedroom, a master suite with a private balcony, and a flexible workspace with a separate entrance for remote work and leisure.

Mor’s design blends rustic and industrial elements, using natural materials such as wood, stone, and wicker alongside iron, concrete, and metal. Notable features include exposed wooden beams painted in a light cream tone, dark wood-look porcelain tile floors, and a decorative metal air-conditioning duct connecting both floors as a sculptural element. Large, carefully planned windows and arched openings bring in abundant natural light and views of the Galilee landscape, blurring the boundary between indoors and outdoors.

The interior palette combines warm natural tones of wood, green, and terracotta with contrasting black steel details. Each child’s bedroom was designed in collaboration with its occupant, featuring unique color schemes and custom carpentry. The master bedroom offers a serene retreat with nude and pink hues, natural materials, and a large window framing the mountain view. Bathrooms and other spaces incorporate bold color combinations and boutique hotel-style touches, while even the laundry room received detailed design attention.

Every design decision was made to harmonize aesthetics with practicality, creating a home that feels lived-in and adaptable to the family’s evolving needs. The project was executed by contractor Maher Ajami, supervised by Nativ Ohana, with custom carpentry by Marai and Andersen brand windows supplied by Green Seal.
