Residential
The house is situated along the coast road in Sandymount with stunning views of the sea. It is a 220sq m double fronted Edwardian house dating from 1910. We wanted to bring in a subtle aspect of the sea throughout which we achieved through the colour palette, using tones of blues and greens. As you enter the house you are met by a fully tiled porch in undulating blue ripple effect tiles. This colour palette stemmed from the porch is reflected in each room by using subtle hints of this colour. The repeated colours throughout help to link each area to create a harmonious flow throughout & create a calm, relaxed place to be in. It was a beautiful house to begin with but lacked cohesion, fun and magic. The clients wanted to inject personality and energy into the house and make it into a family home that reflects them. The brief was to reimagine key areas, improve flow and functionality and add a layer of colour and tonality.
In terms of configuration and joinery, we designed the home office to be a beautiful and well considered home office that would look well both spending time there and on zoom camera. Sleek joinery and floating desks run the span of the room providing multiple working stations. The kitchen dining zone was another key area that was not working. It started as a space with elements of furniture within but no anchor or focal point to hinge from. We designed a full-length integrated timber banquette structure with integrated lighting, planting, shelving, and mirror to zone the lounge and dining, reflect the garden and kitchen and offer a cafe/ orangery feeling to the conservatory space. We overlaid tiling, both patterned and block colour to accentuate the detail on the structure. We sought to bring the same consideration to the playroom, lounge, hall and bedrooms with integrated joinery, mirrors, tiling and painting to connect and contrast the spaces with one overriding pastel colour palette.
