Architect Erez Ashkenazi is an architect and an interior designer with a B.Arch. degree who graduated summa cum laude from the School of Architecture at the University of Ariel. Erez is the owner and Chief Architect of the firm, with over 18 years of experience in the world of architecture and interior design. “The dream of being an architect started already when I was young. In Junior high I chose to study architecture and design as my main subject for high school. The deeper I delved into the field the more love I felt for the profession. From there my choices were clear, and after high school I continued my studies to become a practical engineer after which I joined the Israeli Defense Force – the Structures Department in the Air Force – where I served as an architect. The beginning of my professional journey was with the experience I accumulated in a number of leading architectural firms, and from there came the decision to continue to my desired profession – architecture studies. When I received my degree I set out on an independent way, when during the first years I mainly worked in the private building field. With the years, my experience, knowledge and vision grew and the fields of my specialty expanded as well.
