Restoring a Georgian property in South Dublin, previously divided into flats, posed the challenge of preserving its original features while modernizing it for a young professional family's forever home.
The restoration prioritized the ground floor for formal rooms, moving living spaces from the basement. Contemporary touches complemented original details, creating a harmonious blend of tradition and modernity.
An opulent family abode with sophisticated neutrality, rich textures, unexpected proportions and ample natural light infusing the space with confidence and drama. The balance of old-world charm and contemporary elements creates a sanctuary for the family amidst their bustling lives.
