out for a new central staircase. this, in turn,divided the lower-ground floor into twozones â kitchen-diner and family room,where the coupleâs sons like to play.the angle-oriented design is echoed inthe details. the marble island in the centreof the kitchen area was made so that eachlong side is parallel with its exterior wall,making a subtler mini trapezium. âif weâdgone for a standard rectangle, it would havedrawn more attention to the disparity,â saysandy. instead, the lines of the island andthe walls recede into a point in the garden.andyâs boldest move was removing twowalls and a ceiling to create the impressivekitchen-diner. the glass balcony andbalustrades over the double-height atriummean itâs now a âdramatic dining space,where light fills every cornerâ, says cheryl.the family-friendly interiorâs sense offun is augmented by pops of neon and flocksof pink flamingos. Upstairs, colour is alsoworked into geometric fabrics, rugs andthrows that reference the sharp lines andangles that are part of the houseâs dNa.in the family room, there is a set offramed photos that show âbeforeâ andâafterâ images of the house. the previouslower-ground floor is unrecognisable. âitwas dark and dank, with tiny windows,â sayscheryl. âthe only things that glittered therewere layers of tin foil stuck on the walls,which was rather intriguing!â but these days,thereâs no doubt that andy and cherylâsgleaming, glass-enhanced update is awinning transformation.
