centre of attention
Tuesday, August 31st, 2010open plan kitchen and living areas combined with kitchen islands have revolutionised entertaining in the home .however,while segregating the cook from the rest of the party is a thing of the past,segregating guest from views of unclean dishes should be encouraged. in this home a large central island,provides an ideal cooking and entertainment workstation.with its metallic wave form a reference to the wide sea views beyond,and with all areas of the room within easy reach,the island is an exercise in both functionality and design.because of its proximity to the water,the house has a nautical theme that features circular geometry.the island bench has a metallic blue finish and its wave-like fluid shape provides a screening area that allows any dirty kitchenware to be hidden.
