The clients brief for this large 1930s house was to demolish several internal walls to covert a narrow ‘L’ shaped kitchen into a large open family space. Key client desires included a nook capable of seating the whole family and a functional ‘industrial’ style.
Through a series of computer model presentations, we moved away from a conversion of the existing space developing instead an extension. The resultant large space was separated into a functional kitchen zone and a large nook area housed within a frameless glass bay window.
High quality rich natural materials such as handmade brick and hardwoods were enhanced with hidden natural lighting from above to create a rich, textured and layered look. Inspiration for this brightly lit complex space was drawn from the idea of the ‘Manhattan Loft’.

The minimal shaker detail on the cabinetry brings a contemporary feeling to this project. Handpainted dark furniture contrasts beautifully with the brass handles, Quooker tap and the purity of the quartz worktops.

This contemporary handle less Black kitchen is complemented with a Bespoke Log Cabin style Island unit in Sycamore. Contrasted with a Solid Teak breakfast bar.
The main worktop is Dekton

The ceiling box that houses the extractor is a slightly smaller mirror of the Island unit. This air tight house with heat recovery system required an extractor with a filtering filtering kit placed in another room.

Interior Designer: Alannah Monks
Kitchen for Donal Skehan’s new television show, Meals in Minutes
The brief was simple; use the industrial space available to it’s fullest potential while also creating a space that was homely, eclectic, earth inspired, and functional. We created a space that showcased natural textures and fibres, earth inspired colour tones, and industrial finishes to imitate a loft like home.
The kitchen itself takes centre stage in the show, second only to it’s star Donal. We wanted to create a modern and functional space, I envisioned raw oak finishes teamed with mottled concrete counters to mirror the polished concrete flooring available to us in the warehouse. I immediately turned to Tierney Kitchens, having worked with them on previous projects and always been impressed with the results. Together TK designer Joanne Powderly and I trawled through samples, meticulously measured, and formulated the dream kitchen; a limed oak handless door, open shelving, with dark inset sink and matching laminate counter. For the island we worked tirelessly to build the perfect workspace for Donal, and topped it off with an amazing polished concrete counter made bespoke by the fantastic Concrete Design Studios based in Ashbourne, Co Meath.
To accentuate the direction of the grain in the doors, we chose to fit out the kitchen with two stack drawers, keeping clean lines central to this kitchen’s aesthetic. This is also mimicked in the fantastic 3 metre wide open shelving running across the faux brick backsplash of the set.
The kitchen is styled with a mixutre of props and pieces from Donal’s own home in order to make the set feel authentic. The natural materials and warm colour palette help contribute to this warm and homely aesthetic. Similarly our faux courtyard and crittal windows throw the light across the kitchen beautifully, giving the set movement and a genuine impression of being a working, living kitchen.

The minimal shaker detail on the cabinetry brings a contemporary feeling to this project. Handpainted dark furniture contrasts beautifully with the brass handles, Quooker tap and the purity of the quartz worktops.

Inspired by the natural stone Port Laurent, the striking colorway features a dramatic dark brown background crisscrossed with veins of gold.
