Screed floors, exposed concrete beams, and black steel elements, along with visible air ducts establish an austere, urban aesthetic that is enriched by local materials such as terrazzo and stone, and the use of brass. The muted palette of white, grey and black is complemented by the pastel hues presented in the modern furniture and the kitchen’s cabinetry, indoor plants, and the wooden window frames and shutters, a traditional feature in Jaffa’s buildings, while the daughter’s room is infused in pale pink.

Despite its minimalist sensibility, the interior design abounds with beautiful construction details including custom carpentry and metal work. Check out the dining counter which is partly suspended from the ceiling, or the way the terrazzo floor tiles in the kitchen meet the floor screed, or how the air duct effortlessly penetrates the glass partition. Cohen has also included several instances of playfulness that subtly subvert the décor's austerity which also serve as unofficial hallmarks for his design practice. Small skulls take the role of drawer handles, potted plants transform a shelving unit into a botanical wall, and a reading nook upholstered in green velvet makes a surprising dent in the apartment’s wardrobe; the later conceived as a modern interpretation of a “tree house”, a romantic concept of escape that also aptly describes the overall feeling of this welcoming apartment.
