Before and After Video: Ballsbridge Residence

Before and After Video: Ballsbridge Residence, Dublin.

 

 

The Ballsbridge Residence was a large residential project completed in 2015. KLD were appointed to manage the project both in terms of interior architecture and interior design.

The brief for this space was to combine two adjoining properties and completely reconfigure the interior space. The project also involved an extension to the rear of the building to create a more contemporary, spacious family home.

Bespoke joinery was an important feature of the Ballsbridge Residence, every room features joinery designed by the KLD team.

Circulation was a key consideration for the project – there needed to be a balance between open family space as well as some more private space for mum and dad to relax in.

KLD combined a mix of styles from different eras to create an exciting aesthetic. Salvaged vintage pieces, contemporary furniture and lighting, and custom furniture and lighting were combined to achieve a diverse mix.

In terms of the project overall, the team took a holistic approach to the design. Every decision was considered and discussed to ensure it was the best decision for the client to fit their lifestyle requirements, as well as their aesthetic desires.

Ballsbridge Residence Interior Design – Week 2

It is hard to believe how much interior work has already happened in two weeks. Well done so far to Cill Dara Homes, they sure are getting stuck in!

Not only has all of the extensive demolition work been carried out, but so much of the new structure is underway, windows measured and ordered etc.

It is so exciting to be able to see how the two houses have been knocked together to create one overall house. For those who aren’t great at visualising, I promise this mess is going to look great very soon!

And for those, like us, who get very excited during construction… keep checking back to see the progress!

A lot of propping required to keep the roof in place

Soon to be the bootroom below and master suite above!

A few on site changes… as to be expected!

Bulkheads to frame the kitchen and pantry wall and create tunnel into boot room and kids room… We love our bulkheads!

Soon to be a full height, floor to ceiling fixed glass panel in the kitchen..

 
 
Ballsbridge Residence – Before + Week 1

Construction works have started on Ballsbridge Residence and we have to admit we are beyond excited!

The Ballsbridge Residence is a very exciting job that we have spent the last few months working on and perfecting the detail. It is a large scale residential interior architecture and interior design project.

BEFORE:

The Ballsbridge Residence job involves joining two houses together and forming a new larger house that encompasses a large, seamless open plan rear kitchen, living and dining room with separate boot room, play room, hall and most exciting library room (not for the children!)

Upstairs we are creating a large master suite with walk in wardrobe, bathroom and bedroom as well as children’s rooms, a spare suite and bathroom.

We have been busy working up all of the tender and construction drawings and have now got all of the contracts signed ready for take off! Demolition is moving quickly and so the new layout will be clear to see over the next few weeks.

We will keep you posted on our Ballsbridge Residence updates!
