The merging of two Dublin homes into one posed a unique design challenge, blending two entrances and staircases into a unified family residence. The concept centers on the "2:1" intersection, where mirrored materials dramatize the connection point across levels, creating a seamless yet distinctive flow.

Emphasizing both connectivity and individual character, the design features multiple routes for discovery, from the cozy, Japanese-inspired dining room in dark smoked timber to open-plan spaces. This layout fosters a sense of journey and exploration, with flexible transitions that define the experience of each room.

Meticulous detailing and careful material choices create an unexpectedly playful, timeless family home, integrating warmth, elegance, and thoughtful circulation.
