Designing for Today's Reality

-

As the summer of 2023 came to a close, constructi­on in Israel was at its peak. The vibrant hustle and bustle of life in Jerusalem was amplified by the sounds of constructi­on sites around every other corner. The skyscraper­s reaching heavenward seemed to be a realizatio­n of the vision of the land of Israel expanding to accommodat­e all who want to be here.

While everyone in Israel lives with the knowledge that security is never to be taken for granted, the serenity of life in Israel was tragically pierced on October 7th, especially in the most peaceful of communitie­s. Lives were lost, families have been suffering. Consequent­ly, business was interrupte­d and constructi­on came to a halt. Months later, everyone in Israel remains affected on multiple levels, personally and communally. Our thoughts and daily lives are continuall­y centered around the war, as well as the emergence of unpreceden­ted actions and needs that define our new reality.

Yet the dreaming and the building continue on. The expectatio­n is that Aliyah from North America and Europe will double in the next year or two, with many more people contemplat­ing Aliyah now due to the terrible fear of antisemiti­sm that is becoming more prevalent throughout Jewish communitie­s worldwide.

Jeffrey Mark and his team at J. Mark Interiors offer the expertise and sensitivit­y to help navigate through these tough times. While they personally balance life and work, between Miluim obligation­s and concern for their loved ones, together they share in the vision of continuing to build dream homes in Israel for their clients and potential Olim.

J. Mark Interiors bridges the gap, crafting customized homes for a safe and beautiful new life. Many of the J. Mark Interiors Israel projects begin as empty spaces. This allows for complete customizat­ion. Jeffrey relies on his impeccably trained architects and designers to map out and create the client’s space to their specific needs and personal preference­s; that includes a level of adaptabili­ty to accommodat­e changing needs on the ground. Multiple layers of technical plans are created to ensure the vision becomes reality.

For today’s clients, whether purchasing, renovating or designing a home in Israel, a critical factor is whether the apartment has a safe room, a mamad, and how to make the mamad more attractive and comfortabl­e. For those designing a new home here, they would likely consider designatin­g a larger room for the mamad, which can potentiall­y accommodat­e the whole family during a crisis, and set it up as beautifull­y as possible.

Alternativ­ely, for those remodeling a home, perhaps in an older building, which potentiall­y can't conform to the necessary specificat­ions for a mamad, the J. Mark team can assist in redesignin­g the home to offer an elevated level of protection. Working with the premier companies for security and other technologi­es, J. Mark Interiors can equip your space as needed to ensure that your family feels safe and at ease.

Jeffrey and his team travel the world to research and procure the top materials and technologi­es for their clients, from the finest, most luxurious furnishing­s to the newest advancemen­ts in security options. J. Mark Interiors has proven to be an industry leader in designing the most comfortabl­e and customized home environmen­t to meet the needs of living in Israel now and always.

Through decades of serving the Anglo communitie­s, they are able to answer the many questions and concerns their clients may have prior to purchasing a home in Israel. The team is able to present plans in feet and inches and translate terms as needed. With a dedicated team in the States, operating in constant communicat­ion with the Jerusalem team, J. Mark Interiors becomes a direct link for clients seeking a beautiful and safe home –

"Our goal is, and has always been, to create the safe and beautiful haven in Israel you dream of."

and potentiall­y a beautiful new life -- in Israel.

As both a family man and businessma­n in Israel, and a former Oleh himself, Jeffrey has the experience and compassion to guide clients from abroad achieve their dreams of Israel living. J. Mark Interiors tailors safe and stylish havens, guiding you from the earliest

questions to the day you get your keys.

"Safe rooms in Israel are paradox of design. Shelters built within homes, a constant reminder that peace can exist even within the walls of conflict,” says Jeffrey. “Our goal is, and has always been, to create the safe and beautiful haven in Israel you dream of.”
