WOOD WALL

The wooden wall at the entrance of a villa in Tel Aviv can serve as both a striking architectural feature and a welcoming, warm invitation to the home. Here’s a detailed design concept for a wooden entrance wall that balances modern aesthetics with natural beauty:

Material Selection:

  • Wood Type: Choose teak, cedar, or Ipe, known for their durability and beautiful grain. These woods are well-suited for outdoor exposure, resisting weathering while retaining their elegance.
  • Finish: A weather-resistant finish or natural oil treatment would preserve the wood’s natural hue, enhancing its richness and grain. For a more matte finish, a penetrating oil would bring out the texture of the wood while preventing moisture damage and UV degradation.

Design Concept:Vertical Slats:

    • The entrance wall could be adorned with vertical slats to create a bold, modern look. The slats should be spaced just enough to allow for air circulation and light, while maintaining privacy.
    • The vertical orientation emphasizes the height of the wall, drawing attention to the villa's entrance while providing a clean, structured design.
    • For added dimension, vary the depth or width of the slats slightly, creating a pattern that feels dynamic and engaging without becoming overwhelming.
