DINING AREA

Light enters on all sides thanks to a glazed door, a porthole window, and a skylight. Walls in Stone ll, Paint & Paper Library. Prismatic glass pendant, Spark & Bell. Calacatta cement-based terrazzo floor tiles, Inopera Group. Try 1stDibs for a similar table and chair

KITCHEN

The iroko wood used for the worktop came from a school’s science lab so is full of ‘graffiti and character,’ says Anthi. The maple wood on the cabinetry is also recycled.
