The studio

Hi, I’m Enam.

I’m an architect and interior designer. I founded my studio in San Diego, California, and today I work between Israel and California. For more than eight years I’ve designed private homes, apartments, kitchens and workspaces, each one tailored to the people who live in it.

Every space brings a different story, a different challenge and a new opportunity to create. I design from the context of each place, its light, its views and its surroundings, and with real attention to my clients’ needs and budget.

I believe a good process starts with communication: lots of questions, lots of listening, and precision in the small details, step by step, until everything comes together into one complete, precise result.

What I do

    Architecture & planning

    Space planning, architectural drawings, additions and ADUs. Every good space begins with a strong plan.

  2. 02

    Interior design

    Complete interiors for homes and apartments: layout, carpentry, lighting, materials, furniture and styling.

    Kitchens & bathrooms

    My favorite rooms to design, from award-winning kitchens to calm, spa-like bathrooms.

  4. 04

    3D visualization

    Realistic renderings, so you can walk through your home and decide before a single wall moves.

  5. 05

    Renovation guidance

    Working with suppliers and contractors, with site visits along the way, so the result matches the design.

  6. 06

    Design consultation

    Focused consultation hours for layouts, colors and materials, for when you need a professional eye.

3D visualization

See it before it’s built

Realistic 3D renderings from the San Diego years. Clients walk through their home, choose materials and settle the details before construction starts.

Materials in daylight

See it in real light.

“When I choose a tile, a paint or any shade for a home, I always check it in direct daylight. Only then do you see the true tone and its undertones, and what happens to the material in the morning compared to the afternoon.”
Enam

Pick a material, then move the sun.

    Getting to know you

    We talk about your space, your routine, what you love and what’s missing. Lots of questions, lots of listening.

    Planning & layout

    Measurements, space planning and a layout that works for the way you actually live.

  3. 03

    Concept & 3D

    Mood boards, first concepts and realistic 3D renderings, then a complete design plan with material samples and pricing.

  4. 04

    Details & materials

    Carpentry, lighting, finishes and every small detail, chosen in real daylight.

  5. 05

    Suppliers & site visits

    A complete construction binder for the contractor, product sourcing and regular site visits, so what’s built is exactly what was designed.

    Styling & handover

    Final touches, styling, and the moment everything comes together exactly as we imagined.
