1 Glow Sticks
Southern sunlight is filtered through a five-foot trellis (not shown) that extends from the house; that natural light is complemented by pot lights fitted into discreet recesses in the ceiling, carefully aligned to suggest borders to living zones that the open plan otherwise lacks.
2 Cloak Room
A typical stainless-steel hood fan would have weighed down this breezy scene, so the fan was buried inside a dry-walled shroud instead. A stainless-steel grid was devised around the fan, which itself is spotted with additional task lighting.
3 Stepping Out
On balmy days, a wall of glass slides away, extending the kitchen space onto a luxe concrete terrace for post-dinner cocktails around a concrete Solus fire bowl. Landscape architect Gerry Eckford blends plant life into home life with checkered squares of grass and concrete. Blue bricks on the garage are picked up indoors too, around fireplaces, the laundry room and a powder room.
4 Elbow Room
Despite the narrow quarters, Lamoureux resisted a galley-style plan. Sixty square feet of Lagos Blue CaesarStone make for an impressive swath of countertop. A raised sheet of tempered glass (to the right) defines an area for casual eating.
5 Treasure Island
A Panasonic microwave, two Miele wall ovens and a Miele espresso maker live in a five-foot-high island, low enough that the home’s open layout suffers no interruption. Its Australian walnut base is distinct enough to define a den-like space beyond the kitchen for late-night TV.
