About

Hello, I'm Shirly

For over a decade I have accompanied families and business owners from a first idea to a space that is lived in. Those years taught me one thing that keeps repeating: a good home is not measured by a list of materials, but by the moment you walk in and feel at home.

Every project begins with listening: how you live, what matters to you, and how you want to feel when you walk through the door. From that listening comes the right plan, one made for you and no one else.

I love calm spaces, natural light, materials that are a pleasure to touch, and details that reveal themselves only on a second look. Precise joinery, a tone that meets another tone, a line of light set exactly where it belongs: that is where the thought lives.

I plan and design private homes, luxury apartments, penthouses and commercial spaces. Jerusalem is my professional home, and from it I also accompany projects in central Israel. Wherever it is, the process begins with a personal acquaintance and an understanding of the people I am designing for, so that the home reflects them and suits their lives.

And in every project I ask the same question: how do you want it to feel to be here?

Areas of work

  • Private homes

    Interior planning and design for the whole house, from the layout of the rooms to the choice of materials and the smallest details.

  • Luxury apartments

    Precise planning that fits the apartment to the way you live, entertain and unwind.

  • Penthouses

    Design that connects inside and outside, with attention to light, views and the flow between spaces.

  • Commercial spaces

    Spaces that tell the story of your business and are a pleasure to spend time in, for you and for your clients.

How I work

  1. Getting to know you

    We meet and talk about the home, your needs and what matters to you. At this stage I mostly listen.

  2. Planning

    I translate what I heard into a plan that suits the way you live and the character of the space.

  3. Design

    Together we shape a design language, materials and tones, and refine every detail.

  4. Home

    Every choice comes together in one complete space that feels like yours from the first moment.

Planning your home? I would love to hear about it.
