THE BRIEF
For years, this 1930s Sydney beachside home had been divided into two
apartments. When the newowners decided to restore it as a single family
dwelling, it required a major internal overhaul. The new floor plan created
anopen-plan kitchen/dining/casual living area that is blessed with abundant
naturallight and ocean views.The owners – parents of three young children –
enlisted interior designer Cressida Kelly from Space Control Design to create
a playful, contemporary scheme that reflected their beach lifestyle. They
were keen to use classic materials such as American walnut and marble,
but in a fresh way to suit a coastal home and young family.>✚There’s a 400mm overhang
on the stool-side of the island:
“Room to tuck your knees under
without knocking the cabinets,”
says Cressida.[
