Extended kitchen-family-livingroom.
Double doors in a wide arch open into the livingroom which has a wall of bookshelves and Crittall-style black aluminium-framed glazed double doors by Reynaers opening to the internal courtyard. Metal-framed Crittall-style doors and windows are associated with Art Deco design, and this house has a definite Art Deco flavour in its fit-out and furnishings; the couple had admired Crittall style in London and New York townhouses.
Matching doors on the other side of the courtyard open into the large kitchen-diningroom-family room extension. The kitchen from Blackrock Kitchens has a wide roof window over the Silestone-topped island and countertops; units are painted a kind of teal blue; and thereâs a white subway-tiled splashback.
