A Dublin Residence

The brief was precise and the deadline tighter: a complete transformation of a four bedroom Dublin home, in three months, before a St. Patrick's Day celebration.

The house was fifteen years old but built to period specifications, its traditional layout intact and its potential entirely unrealised. What began as a conversation about fresh paint and new furniture evolved into something more serious and honest. Creaking floors, draughts, unsightly radiators, and an underperforming fabric throughout. The right approach wasn't cosmetic. It was structural.

The first phase addressed what was underneath: full insulation, underfloor heating throughout, and the infrastructure for a high-spec multi-room audio system. Only then did the design work begin in earnest.

The layout was retained but transformed in character — cool blues and greys throughout, custom white-painted shutters on every window, a new travertine floor in the kitchen, and French oak boards in the dining area. A chrome console from Holland. A French antique desk repurposed as a drinks table.

Upstairs, four bedrooms treated with the same precision — solid mahogany wardrobes, hotel-quality beds, and subtly differentiated shades of grey. Practical, masculine, and quietly luxurious.

Delivered on time.
