DECORATING IDEASHOMEWORKS FEATURE

“Christmas is a time when you get homesick – even when you’re home.” - Carol Nelson

Christmas is the perfect time for HOMEWORKS, with all its style inspiration, home cosiness and senses appeal. What’s better at Christmastime than a charmingly decorated and warm home, with the presence of a happy family all wrapped up with one another? It doesn’t matter whether it’s in an apartment, a maisonette or a villa; Christmas spirit around the home is a spectacular thing.

This issue of HOMEWORKS, we encourage that Christmas joy in “Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas” (page 046), featuring a revelation of homemade ornaments, decorations, advent calendars, wreath ideas and stockings, amongst others. The instructions of how to make the crafts are included so there’s really no excuse this Christmas not to spend some quality time with the family making festive creations.

This edition has got to be one of the strongest yet in terms of home prowess. We feature three stunning homes, all very significant and distinct in style.

Architect Martin Xuereb blows us away with a grandly contemporary home in Bahar ic-Caghaq. (Page 020)

Interior Designers Penny Apap Brown and Annabel Caruana design an ultra chic apartment in Birgu for a travelling investor. (Page 030)

Dame Sue Armour designs her own Tigné Point apartment in Sliema, indicating that simple really is more, particularly if you have a magnificent view to make the most of. (Page 038)

This issue is positively brimming with boisterous Christmas merriment. On that note, I’ll take this opportunity to thank all you readers out there for supporting HOMEWORKS throughout the year by the taking time to flip through our pages and supply us with feedback and suggestions.

“A merry Christmas to everybody! A happy New Year to all the world!”

“First of all well done for HOMEWORKS! it brings a smile on my face whenever i discover it together with the Sunday Times. i always read it first because it’s packed with beautiful pictures and layout, information and inspiration!

My suggestion is an article on exploring local styles in other parts of the world. For example, the ‘Swedish style’, with its beautiful honey coloured wood and saunas; the chalet style with its cosy furniture; the provencal style, parisian Style... the list is infinite. i’d also like to learn how to recreate the style in Malta and where to find the furniture and décor to do it.”

NEIL AZZOPARDI IS THE WINNER OF THE 19” SHADE WITH PATTERNED WALLPAPER INNER COVER AND TURQUOISE OUTER FABRIC, COURTESY OF STEM INTERIORS, WORTH €99. Neil wrote: Dear Editor,

“Thank you to the HOMEWORKS team for creating such a brilliant publication. We have just bought our first home so our suggestion for an article is how to treat a small budget. We’d like to know from an interior designer’s point of view, what furniture pieces need heavier investment while which others can be purchased inexpensively. For instance, are all lower budget sofas relatively in the same price bracket, or is this a piece that can be purchased for much less? The same goes for coffee tables, televisions, kitchens, etc. Your help on this subject would save us a lot of time (and expensive probably)!”

UPSIDE-DOWN

CHRISTMAS

The owners Elaine and Charles Mangion worked together with architect Martin Xuereb to achieve this stunning project. The brief was simple: to take full advantage of the surrounding views. Architectural, structural, electrical and interior design was all by Martin Xuereb, backed by MXA’s structural engineering team and in-house interior design team. The job was made easier for Martin and his team thanks to the clients’ appreciation and understanding of innovative design.

CHRISTMAS

The idea of flow, in all directions and dimensions, is apparent throughout the home. It feels so natural that you enter the house on the top floor, totally contrary to the norm. A gradual, stepped entrance leading to the front door avoids having one long staircase. The external entrance walls were designed specifically for the light features leading up to the main door. They give attractive pockets of light, like miniature doorways which illuminate both the steps and into the garden, giving unity to the hard and soft elements.

The main door is a modern take on the traditional fanlight. Its slim steel frame with glass surround allows natural light into the home during the day and lights up at night in a welcoming gesture that tells the entrant exactly where to go.

The home has a gentle, terraced feel on the top level, with steps here and there allowing for gradual height changes to maximise the view, much like the stepped rows of a theatre. The main living areas have been situated on the top floor precisely to obtain the best views. Even the master bedroom and bathroom enjoy this vantage point.

The terrace that runs the length of the living and dining room has a punctured base covered by a steel mesh to allow a view of the pool beneath, which otherwise could not have been enjoyed.

The use of external weight-bearing columns, as opposed to internal columns, is a rare feature in Malta. It allows for a continuity of glass in the corner of the property, hence allowing unobstructed views and themselves being barely noticeable.

A two-storey high window and open stairs leading to the lower floor allow light to penetrate while also allowing views of the outside.

On the lower floor, a full glass wall was preferred to one with sliding doors because a mullion would have interfered with the view. This way, two side doors can be opened to allow air in and the view is unobstructed, with the outside becoming very much part of the room, feeling like one undivided space.

The top floor kitchen is south-facing. While the top floor kitchen has been centrally placed for practicality, it is not the first thing you notice when entering the home, as so often happens. It has sea and country views at the front and also overlooks an external terrace, which in turn overlooks the back garden, which is lovely for whoever is cooking. The main feature in the back garden is a Malta hard-stone feature wall which incorporates a cascade which leads to the pond. The eye is gently led down the jutting stones shapes under the bridge-like terrace to the stone slabs around the pool.

Martin: Normally in a living room, either the TV or the fireplace would be the main focus, but we didn’t want to detract from the view. We put the fireplace in a central spot within the upper floor living space and the TV is on a custom-made, innovative sliding panel that can be completely hidden from sight to maximise the view even

more. This configuration can give equal importance to the view on the left, the TV in the centre and the fireplace on the right. The owners love to cook and entertain and the property allows this due to its functional design. The property has an unusual layout in that the majority of bedrooms are on the lower floor, the same level of the pool, having views of the pool and the surrounding area. There are two kitchens: one leading on to the pool deck and another kitchen on the top floor. The kitchen close to the pool area naturally comes into its own in summer and has become part of the children’s living and entertainment area.

Martin: The pool is an important element and was designed to be part and parcel of the house. I don’t like pools that seem to have been an afterthought. This one has been integrated totally into the house and feels like it is with you inside. It goes under the decking, giving the impression

that it goes under the property, in the same way that the pond goes under the south-facing terrace.

There is a play, a natural flow between the vertical surface of the pool itself and the surrounding areas. The decking is a visual and textural juxtaposition for the dark grey marble on the opposite side of the pool (which has been carried down the inside of the pool), with the glass vertical surround edge detail acting like a bridge between them. The glass lights up, giving the impression that the pool is raised up and it looks like a glass platform from a distance.Eight water-jet features in the swimming pool plus water blower in the middle of the pool allow for the formation of fountains of varying heights.

CHRISTMAS

Martin: Much thought was given to the layout of the bedrooms. The living areas are open, while the bedrooms are cosy. You wouldn’t normally put a bed in the centre of the room such as we did in the single bedroom featured here, but we felt it was a nice way of splitting the room. Its orientation towards the TV gives the room a comfortable, living room feel, while the low gypsum partition behind it allows ample space behind the bed for a shoe rack and wardrobe.

The master bedroom has been positioned within the property away from the entertaining areas. In the master bedroom and bathroom, all the storage units were custom-made, including the practical concealed pull-out cupboards in the vanity, the drawers that double as a window seat, TV wall and wardrobe. The bathroom was placed on a higher level than the bedroom and is an open space so that the view can be enjoyed.

I didn’t want the bedroom doors to stand out. They are unconventional in that they are full height and disguised by being flush with the panelling on the corridor walls. This gives continuity and flow to the space.

Charles Mangion: Doing up houses is my hobby and I took an active role in this project. The grating in the terrace that allows us to see the pool from the top floor, even while sitting down, was my idea. My favourite element is the stairs with the wall in the middle which I had first seen in an architecture book. The garden with pond was my wife’s idea.

We all wanted a pool that was large enough for entertaining purposes. The children really enjoy the cascades and when they are here, every water feature has to be switched on. Our dining table extends for 14 people and is often used for that many. The house is always bustling, it’s a real home. We are very happy with it and at night the house is even nicer than during the day thanks to the lighting scheme.

AN EXTENSIVE USE OF GLASS WAS UTILISEd ON THE FAÇAdE OF THE HOUSE THAT OVERLOOKS THE POOL ANd bEyONd TO THE SEA. THIS PRIVATE SIdE OF THE HOME IS AS MUCH PART OF THE OUTdOORS AS POSSIbLE.

CHRISTMAS

The owner of this high-end, high-tech waterfront apartment owns a number of properties worldwide, travels extensively and enjoys entertaining. From the living area there is a stunning view of the entrance to Grand Harbour providing him with a window to the world of cruise liners, oil tankers, powerboats and even the romantic luzzu plying their trade in the Mediterranean.

The client’s brief was for the designers to create a sophisticated living space geared for entertaining, whether for a party for friends, a function for international business clients or for a quiet night watching a film on the full screen projection. The space was designed precisely to accommodate this lifestyle.

Duo Designers took two adjacent apartments, opened them up and fused them together, seamlessly creating one large, ultra-modern open plan space on the edge of the water. The

spacious accommodation includes a comfortable living area with a concealed cinema, a baby grand piano, a dining area for ten and a buffet area with chafing dishes for functions, which are professionally catered for. The space also contains a sleek, elegant kitchen, an all-season, outdoor/indoor spa deck with a five-person spa tub, a bar area and a grill on the deck. At the rear of the apartment there is a sauna room, a gym, as well as the owner’s own and guest accommodation. An office with the technology to link him instantly to his companies worldwide is separated behind a glass wall from the living area. Since the client enjoys cooking surrounded by his friends, it was important that the kitchen was integrated into the living space without appearing out of place with black leather and cowhide sofas, amongst the other elegant furniture.

THE INTERNATIONAL INVESTOR CLIENT’S BRIEF TO INTERIOR DESIGNERS PENNY APAP BROWN AND ANNABEL CARUANA WAS TO CREATE AN ENTERTAINMENT-FRIENDLY, SOPHISTICATED AND LUXURIOUS APARTMENT

I WENT FOR BLACK BECAUSE IT’S SO CHIC AND IF USED CORRECTLY IS TIMELESS. BLACK IS THE FOUNDATION FROM WHICH ANYTHING IS POSSIBLE.

CHRISTMAS

The main challenge that the design and management team had to address was the lack of space on the narrow terraces. The client wanted a spacious sun deck area with a big spa tub, partially open to the sea and adjacent to the lounge area. The weight of the tub required underlying reinforced beams and both the external and internal deck floor levels had to be equalized. Extra outdoor space was achieved by removing the original glazed terrace doors and commissioning new sliding ones that could slide out of sight into a purpose -built cavity wall.

Penny: “The apartment is really modern so I wanted to introduce an organic element in the spa area. I chose a warm honey coloured tropical, seasoned, hard wood and rough textured grey slate for the floor, had it laser cut to follow a random curve and included river stones, to give it a more earthy look.”

The tub was also clad in a similar timber. The spa sun deck is enclosed by full height frameless glass walls allowing the lounge area to be independently air conditioned in hot weather. On cool days, the terrace doors can be closed and the glass spa deck walls open up to integrate with the lounge area. This glass wall also serves as a backdrop for automated blackout blinds and a projection screen concealed in the ceiling.

The colour scheme in the apartment is predominately black, ochre-meets-mustard and silver. Penny: “I went for black because it’s so chic and if used correctly, I believe it’s timeless. Black is the foundation from which anything is possible. Mustard signifies heat and warms the black. The cushions on the leather sofa are silk, abstract designs by an Italian design house. I used a similar design on the under plates on the dining table. With black as the key non-colour, change is always possible. I could change the scheme in a matter or hours. Black is never boring, which is why I love working with it. It makes a room different, not necessarily small. Sometimes if you take a small room and paint it white it can become very boring. But if you take a small room and paint it black it becomes an intimate space.”

Large sliding glass doors allow for the maximisation of the stunning entrance to Grand Harbour view.

Penny: “I like using glossy lacquered finishes on surfaces because they act as magnets for both artificial and natural light, drawing light deeper into the darker corridors and back rooms. I incorporated many light moods in this apartment, all of which work from on an intelligent system. I do my own lighting design – I am constantly observing light wherever and whenever I travel.”

The apartment functions with state-of-the-art technology; inclusive of a centralised server system that supports a wide array of functions. Alarms, lighting, DVDs (library), music (play lists), a systems library, acclimatisation and Internet are all accessed through this system from each room and zone

The client: “This was imperative for me because I need to be able to control a lot of things from different countries. With this system even if I am in another country I can unlock the door and turn off the alarm in Malta for the housekeeper to come in. I can turn the lights on for a couple of hours to make it appear as if someone is at home when I am actually abroad. I’m also alerted every time someone enters, even if they have a key, so I know who has been going in and out and at what time.”

The golden, face flattering glow and ambiance focused onto the dining table rather than the guests makes for a relaxed dinner and a good flow of conversation.

It was important that the kitchen was integrated into the living space without appearing out of place. It was achieved with black, lacquered, tall units, which appear to melt into the elegant, black, wallpapered wall behind them. The kitchen island unit has ample storage inside the circular, revolving base cupboards, making it easy to maintain an uncluttered workspace.

All the menus for this technology are accessed from the television. The remote control works like a mouse, which detects motion from movement. The projection screen is the size of the spa wall and possesses an extremely high resolution, making it perfect for watching DVDs (complete with a surround sound system) or as a very large computer monitor.

The apartment had to be more of a “night-time place” due to the client’s working hours and travel commitments, as well as his guest entertainment requirements. The eclectic and dramatic lighting includes pockets of light virtually everywhere, as well as in small unique surprises. The golden, face flattering glow and ambiance focused onto the

dining table rather than the guests makes for a relaxed dinner and a good flow of conversation. There are LEDs in the living/dining area dividing column, which create a subtle star-like light. The small blue lights in the spa floor complement the blue interior of the tub and signify water.

Penny: “I like to create a lot of different lighting scenarios because we all experience mood changes, from energetic to mellow – a clever lighting menu allows for this. I really think this is what makes for a great atmosphere.”

CHRISTMAS

THERE IS A RULE IN INTERIOR DECORATING THAT SAYS, “EVERY ROOM CAN USE A TOUCH OF BLACK”. THE INTERIOR OF THIS STUNNING TIGNÉ POINT APARTMENT IS ESSENTIALLY ONE WITH AN ALL-WHITE BACKDROP, CONTRASTED BY THE EXTENSIVE USE OF BLACK IN ACCESSORIES. IN THIS INSTANCE, THE USE OF BLACK ADDS A FOCAL POINT THAT GROUNDS, ANCHORS AND CREATES A SOPHISTICATED LOOK TO THIS STUNNING APARTMENT.

The main objective of the design of the seafront apartment was to maximise the stunning view. The occupant of the residence, Dame Sue Armour took advantage of the open and airy feel by extensively using black and white. The backdrop and furniture is all white, while the black touches help catch the eye and sharpen the decorating scheme, serving as an outline that sets off specific areas or objects.

The result of the strict colour scheme is a fresh, clean and unquestionably elegant look. There’s a fine line with black and white though; excessive use of any one of the colours could make a space look dull or at worst, stark.Here, the white background reflects light, as well as giving an airy and fresh look to the space. The walls are white, save for the back wall of the living area, which is a dark brown colour, as well as the back wall of the kitchen, which is a slightly darker brown. The white walls serve as a perfect background for the two canvases at the back of the white leather sofa and the Aboriginal painting that Sue acquired during her time in New Zealand. To avoid sterility in this relatively all-white area, a large black area rug was used for the living area. The glass coffee table top then serves its purpose without being overbearing.

Sue Armour: “Black and white have always been my favourite colours to use when decorating a new space. They’re easy to abide by and the result is always chic. Bright colours are just not my style and I don’t find them relaxing, while a black and white scheme really makes me feel comfortable; it’s easy on the eye and it doesn’t jar me when I’m trying to wind down.”

The main feature of the space is the black marbled kitchen island, which reflects the view onto its seamless surface. This island allows the space to lay out extremely well in the social sense, as it’s the first place guests perch upon while chatting to the hostess before dinner. The main dining table sits outside on the glass-sectioned large terrace and during the winter months, the kitchen island also serves as the main dining area.

CHRISTMAS

Sue: “It’s pointless having a view like this and not focusing everything towards it. When guests come over, they want to enjoy the view. The large window between the view and the kitchen completely opens up, allowing the vista to become part of the inside. It creates such a spacious feel that it’s actually like being al fresco.”

The clever lighting design of the space adds impact to the scene, changing the space from fresh during the day, to moody by night. The extensive use of mirrored surfaces allows for exquisite reflections, which bring the space glamour and romance.

This space is living evidence that when used properly, the most basic black and white can create a sensational look. It also proves that less is definitely more – as long as the backdrop is created through quality materials, the details will shine.

Mamma mia!Chefs Kenneth Cortis and Andre Falzon of Mamma Mia, Ta’Xbiex together with Emmanuel Delicata Winery bring HOMEWORKS three main courses that will warm tummies this winter. Bill Hermitage from Delicata suggests the perfect wine accompaniment for each dish.

Ingredients for the aubergine caviar:

1 aubergine garlic, minced salt rosemary

Ingredients for the red mullet

2 red mullet, filleted (250g) lemon flour seasoning saffron6 langoustines, shelled2.5cl chilli oil

Method:

For the aubergine caviar:

Split the aubergines in half. Place the garlic, oil, rosemary and salt on top of the aubergines and wrap in foil. Bake for 45 minutes in a 225º oven. Then, lower the heat to 115º and bake for a further 20 minutes. Open the foil and leave to cool until they are cool enough to be handled. Take the aubergine filling out on a chopping board and chop finely. Heat the filling in a pan until the water evaporates. Leave to cool and store.

For the red mullet:

Fillet and scale the fish, season and add some lemon drops and saffron strands. Shallow fry them for 30 seconds on each side.

For the langoustines:

Split the shells in half, take out the meat, season and add some lemon. Shallow fry them in some butter and oil.

When all three parts are completed, pour the aubergine and caviar puree’ over the dish. Place the red mullet fillet over this, then place the langoustines over the red mullet. Place aubergine slices on the langoustines and place the red mullet over these slices. Garnish with shredded aubergine skins and drizzle chilli oil over the top.

CUISINE

BEST WINE ACCOMPANIMENT: 2008 MEDINA SAUVIGNON BLANC D.O.K. MALTA“With the red mullet and langoustines being pan fried in butter and lemon, my wine choice would automatically be an unoaked dry white wine. Then we have an aubergine caviar that contains minced garlic and rosemary, which is not particularly heavy in flavour but might be heavier than the fish. I will therefore require a white wine that is not too light, but one that has a bit of weight and character. A good choice, which easily meets all the criteria is the Medina Sauvignon Blanc with its clean, fruity, full flavours.”

BEST WINE ACCOMPANIMENT: 2008 PJAZZA REGINA RED I.G.T. MALTESE ISLANDS – SYRAH MERLOT SANGIOVESE“Roast lamb in almost any shape or form is probably going to need a red wine to accompany it. But in this dish we have other things to consider like mustard mash, creamed vegetables and a blueberry sauce. Therefore we do not really want a red wine that has too many tannins, or that is very, very strong, but we definitely need one that is fruity and soft. My choice would be the Pjazza Regina Red, which has all the qualifications required to make this a good marriage.”

“The strongest flavours in this straight-forward pasta dish are the bacon, red onion and Parmesan cheese. The other ingredients like broccoli and zucchini are fairly neutral so up to this point we could actually go for either a white or a red wine, if it was light enough. But then there is the element of cream and for me red wine and cream clash terribly so again I would go for a dry white. In this instance, I have gone for the Hauteville Viognier because it is slightly on the heavy side and has medium acidity, which will marry well with the cream and cheese flavours and have sufficient flavour to cope with the slightly salty flavour of the bacon.”

CHRISTMAS

01. Paper Evergreens

Materials:

• Green poster paper• Small gold beads• Wooden skewers• Spools• Hot-glue gun• Craft knife• Bone folder

Method:

For large christmas trees, use an adjustable circle cutter to make 5, 8, 10, 13 and 15 centimetre diameter circles from green card stock (for small trees, omit the 15-centimetre circle). Fold each circle in half 4 times with the bone folder. While circles are folded, snip off the tip of each piece, forming a very small hole in the centre.

place the smallest circle on the pointed end of a wooden skewer (we used 30-centimetre skewers), letting the tip poke through the hole in the circle. With a hot-glue gun, dab the underside of the circle, where paper and skewer meet. Hold for 10 seconds to secure. Working one at a time from smallest circle to largest, slide the remaining circles onto the skewer; secure with glue. insert the bottom of the skewer into a spool; remove, and cut skewer to the desired height (we cut ours to 15, 23, and 25 centimetres), keeping in mind that only the spool should be visible beneath standing tree. Return the skewer to the spool; secure with glue. add a dot of glue to the top of the skewer and attach a gold bead.

02. Gilded pinecones

Materials:

• Pinecones• Gold paint• Wire• Cream satin ribbon

Method:

in a ventilated area, line a surface with plastic and then paper. Secure a rod across an open cardboard box. insert a screw eye into base of each pinecone. attach a 25.5 centimetre-long wire to each screw eye.

Stir the gold paint. Wearing gloves, dip the pinecones in the paint to coat; hang on the rod in the box. Let dry (for at least 1 day). Remove the wire and then thread with the ribbon.

03. Jar Lollypops

Materials:

• Jelly tots• Sugar coated fruit pastilles• Lollypop sticks• Jar• Sugar

Method:

Slide the fruit pastilles and jelly tots on to the lollypop sticks to create your own characters.

04. Holly Gift Tags

Materials:

• Circle cutter• Brown card stock• Cream card stock• Hole punch• Green felt• Light green gift tags• Glue pen• Craft glue• Adhesive foam dots• Gingham ribbon

Method:

With the circle cutter, cut a 7.5 centimetre brown circle and a 5 centimetre cream circle from the card stock. cut 6 green holly leaf shapes out of the green felt. punch 6 red berries with the hole punch.

To assemble, attach a scallop gift tag to the centre of the brown circle with adhesive foam dots. attach the cream circle to the centre of the scallop tag with adhesive foam dots.

using the glue pen, glue 3 holly leaves to the cream circle, with points meeting in the centre. Glue 3 red berries where the holly leaves meet in the centre.

attach another 3 holly leaves with adhesive foam dots over the “flat” holly leaves, slightly offset, with stems at the centre of the circle.

Glue another 3 berries onto the raised holly stems with a dot of craft glue. Thread the gingham ribbon through the hole of the scallop gift tag.

05. Decorative Kugel

Materials:

• Large jablo egg • Metallic crepe paper red • Large golden ribbon (approximately 1 metre)• Medium green ribbon (approximately 1 metre)• Green small wreath• Red Christmas balls• Cardboard tube (approximately 10cm long)• String (to hang to the ceiling)• Glue• Tape• Wooden bead with large hole

Method:

Fold the string in two. Make a small hole at the top of the egg, add some glue, insert in the centre of the rope and leave to dry. Secure with some tape around the hole.

Wrap the egg with crepe paper making sure you leave the rope outside. Decorate the egg with the ribbons. Wrap the cardboard tube with crepe paper.

cut 2 strings of string and attach them to the centre of the wreath to form a cross in the centre. Decorate the wreath with the christmas balls.

pass the rope that has been fixed in the egg first through the tube, then through two opposite corners of the cross you’ve made in the centre of the wreath. Thread the wooden bead. centre and adjust the whole, then glue the bead in place, which will help to keep all the pieces centred. Fix to the ceiling or doorframe.
