Dining Room Chair Pendant Lighting Terrazzo Floors Design Photos and Ideas

The marble dining table is supported by repurposed steel rods from the original structure of the building. “To keep the sense of history and cultural heritage, we didn’t want to use only new materials,” says Chu. “There is a very interesting relationship between the marble and the steel rods, which is found throughout the home. This balance between old and new is what makes this project so interesting.”
The renovation uses 70% recycled materials, both from the original building and other sources. The floors in the kitchen/dining area are made of marble slabs that were damaged during Taiwan’s last earthquake. This damaged marble was further broken down and mixed with concrete to create a terrazzo-like tile for the floors.
The table and chairs are pieces that the client had from before. A HAT pendant light from Luke Mills hangs over the table. The dining nook is lined with custom storage created by Carter Williamson that includes a curved cutaway to echo the round table and allow for comfortable movement. The backsplash and the countertop are both cut from elegant Cararra marble slabs.
An arched doorway and two brick steps were added to enhance the sense of drama as the new environment unfolds.
Sleek black cabinetry contrasts beautifully with the home's richly textured wood accents.
The dining area connects to the backyard pool area via glass sliding doors. A teak sliding screen opens to a separate den.
While the design in the bar remains clean, the tones are moodier with an added touch of glam.
The open kitchen overlooks the dining room.
The gallery-style interiors offer endless opportunities to display art.
The architects left part of the upper level open to turn the dining area and part of the outdoor patio into airy, double-height spaces.

Farnham squared off the ill-fitting addition and specified large-scale, sliding glass doors from Fleetwood that match the rest of the home and let the breakfast nook open to the exterior. A white Saarinen-style table is surrounded by wooden chairs with woven seats, which were intended to warm the scheme.
The renovation restored the built-in brick planter and exchanged the carpeting for sleek white terrazzo floors.
The homeowners love to host guests in the dining room, which features another set of Saarinen furniture. Banksy, a rescue lab and setter mix, takes a break from chasing toys up and down the hallways.
A skylight was added over the dining table to further increase the amount of natural lighting. A bridge between new and old was created by using the timber from a beam that was removed where the kitchen opens to the dining area.
Vertical wood slats continue from the stair treads to the ceiling, emphasizing the openness and grandeur of the open, two-story dining space.
An open floor plan seamlessly transitions from interior to exterior. Large spans of glazing and the extension of natural materials break the wall between indoors and out.
The homes' current owners are the top modernist architect, Steven Harris, and his husband, the interior designer Lucien Rees-Roberts; they are responsible for all the property's recent restoration work. David Kelly was brought in to restore and reinvigorate the landscape design.
The mix of materials feels chic and polished, while also cultivating a natural, earthy vibe.
Huge floor-to-ceiling sliding doors flood the space with light, and create a seamless connection to the outdoors.
A wall of polished plaster extends to the rear, accentuating the ceiling height and adding a raw, textured finish to the otherwise polished interior space.
This minimalism highlights the curves and textures of the cave walls and ceilings.
“All spaces, both internal and external, were restored and designed to accommodate all the new features of the hotel with harmony and comfort,” says Marina.
Light oak wood furniture, Corten-steel details, and neutral toned textiles bring modernity and warmth into the cloistered interiors.

The unique floor treatment included a two-pour concrete slab method, allowing for insulation to be placed between the two slabs—making the space highly thermally efficient.
Energy efficient glazing and sustainable timber selections have also been used throughout the project.
