\nThe home of the designer Michael Anastassiades is a place for reflectionThe place was a dump,\u201d says Michael Anastassiades of his now pristine five-storey home on Lower Marsh in Waterloo. \u201cThere wasn\u2019t even a bathroom.\u201d Built in the 1800s as a merchant\u2019s house, it most recently accommodated a fashion store and had been uninhabited for decades when he moved in. Now, 20 years on, the property has slowly evolved into an elegant, airy home that serves as canvas for the Cyprus-born lighting and furniture designer\u2019s unequivocally modernist tastes.\u201cRight from the beginning there was no finished plan for anything in the house,\u201d he says of the space, which takes inspiration from the open-plan lower layout at the Sir John Soane\u2019s Museum. \u201cIt was a very organic process.\u201d Working with his architect friend Wim de Mul, after demolishing the interior, knocking out ceilings and shifting stairwells, they began the gradual process of rebuilding. Much of the muted look of the place was dictated by the parquet mahogany floor, which neatly demarcates each area. Reclaimed from a local builder, it once decked the nearby County Hall, and had to be cleaned and spliced after arriving in 200 bin bags covered in staples and tar. \u201cThere\u2019s nothing straight about it,\u201d he says. \u201cBut it gives the place character.\u201d Continue reading…
