Creative Wood KitchensLess is more, with the clean lines and ergonomic design of this modern lay-on slab kitchen.
The island is finished in Next125’s Glass-Matt Platinum-Metallic, with special grip recesses that lie flush with the surface. The remaining units are finished in a lava black matt, with tall units opened with stainless steel handles, and the remaining base units opened with a push. The island is capped with an iron-glimmer brown ceramic worktop.
Both the kitchen’s submerged sink and induction hob with downdraft extraction is situated at the island, allowing line of sight with family and guests in the living space beyond while cooking or cleaning. The tall bank of units close behind consists of an integrated larder fridge, an off-the-floor dishwasher, and a convenient eye-level Siemens oven are all positioned for maximum comfort and ergonomic use. The kitchen is also brimming with door, drawer and open storage crockery and cutlery alike.
Next125 is a premium product, and the sheer versatility it offers allows designs truly bespoke to the client, with every minute detail adding to its overall luxury. The countertop is built at a higher height that normal, for ergonomic use and increased storage capacity. A reduced height 50mm plinth creates a shadow gap below cabinets, creating the illusion of floating within the space. The sophisticated pocket door system hides away appliances and open storage along the back wall, reducing the visual space the kitchen takes up and leaving more space for the room to breathe.
The resulting design combines exceptional functionality with effortless comfort, where every material choice adds depth and interest while maintaining a minimalist elegance, to make a truly modern kitchen.

Suitable for installation on both floor and wall. Perfect for installation in bathrooms due to its white tone, that brings brightness and a shimmering gloss finish helps spread light the darkest of corners.
Created from super sturdy porcelain.

COHNThe architecture of this modern house has unique design features. The entrance foyer is bright and spacious with beautiful open frame stairs and large windows. The open-plan interior design combines the living room, dining room and kitchen providing an easy living with a stylish layout. The bathrooms and en-suites throughout the house complement the overall spacious feeling of the house.
Rain Ann Design2B Wellington Road is a private residence in Ballsbridge, Dublin. We were enlisted on this project to transform a former commercial optical surgery into a luxury private residence.
The challenge was to transform this 300sqm sterile clinic into a cosy residence for two people. The building originally consisted of a number of small examination rooms, surgery rooms and narrow hallways. Our design intent was to create an open plan living space that would optimise natural light and create large and comfortable living spaces. The inclusion of a garden space was necessary as the client is an avid gardener.
A 300sqm building with the client use as the central focus we decided on two bedrooms, one for the client and a guest bedroom as luxury was the primary goal of this property.
The original building was connected to an exisiting coach house via a conservatory. Removing this facilitated a small city garden suitable for the clients needs.
The original structure included 3 floors separately enclosed. By removing multiple sections of the original floors we created a dialogue between ground, first and second floor, linking the entire house as one and creating a series of double and triple height, light filled spaces. This connects the attic art studio down to the ground floor as one large volume of space. In this vast space, this links the floors so that the clients never feel far from each other. Removing a section at the rear of the house created a triple height living space for the kitchen / dining area and this allows both the ground and first floor to be flooded with natural light due to the inclusion of a 5.7 x 6m curtain wall window, externally clad in charcoal zinc oxide to contrast with the traditional red brick of the building exterior. We opened up the entire ground floor only enclosing the guest bedroom, bathroom and utility room.
The removal of a floor in the master bedroom created a double height space that feels both spacious and luxurious. The first floor includes the living and sleeping space for the client. The master bedroom and ensuite on the first floor is entered via the walk in wardrobe. This walk in wardrobe acts as a decompression space for the client before rest in the bedroom or relaxation in the spa like bathroom.
The second floor includes the art studio, attic space and a third bathroom.
The addition of a dormer (also clad in charcoal zinc oxide) to the attic space makes for optimum natural light with full headroom for the art studio. Underfloor heating, hyper insulation and a central humidity system (to assist with the clients dry eye condition) were built into the shell and core. The integration of a heat / air exchange system makes this a more sustainable and comfortable build.
Washing and repointing of the exterior brick completed the architectural renovation for this project.
This project was Winner of Best Residential Interior Project and FitOut Designer of the Year in 2021.

To complete the streamlined look choose a Quooker tap and white integrated Corian sinks.
Creative Wood KitchensThis project was conceived to embody the spirit of the Irish hearth — a place where family, warmth, and hospitality naturally converge.
The kitchen’s two-tone palette pairs deep coal black with characterful oak, its cabinetry crafted with a mix of handled, integrated rail, and push-open doors. Crisp white quartz forms both the worktops and upstand, grounding the design within the wider room. Subtle LED lighting casts a gentle, golden glow, evoking the soft glow of a welcoming fire.
From left to right, the back wall houses the kitchen’ ergonomically integrated fridge/freezer, two eye-level Neff Slide&Hide ovens, pullout bins, double sink, undercounter dishwasher, with wall units storing glassware above and fi-fold doors keep countertop appliances hidden beyond. The island is fitted with a Neff hob, casual seating for three, and several rows of extra-deep drawers for keeping crockery and cookware close to the cooking.
While traditional kitchens often rely on ornate detail to create comfort through convention and connotation, this design achieves the same while maintaining a clean, geometrically pleasing aesthetic. A chimney breast gently veils countertop appliances in shadow, keeping them accessible yet discreet. Parallel lines and edges round into a bevel, organic grain shows through both varnish and paint, and cool polished stone all invite and reward touch.
In essence, through a careful balance of visual cleanliness and cosy materiality, this kitchen works efficiently, looks luxurious, and feels as if coming home to an already lit fire.

Carton InteriorsThis new build apartment came with a white kitchen and flooring and it needed a complete fit out to suit the new owners taste. The open plan area was kept bright and airy whilst the two bedrooms embraced an altogether more atmospheric look, with deep jewel tones and black accents to the furniture. The simple galley galley kitchen was enhanced with the addition of a peninsula breakfast bar and we continued the wood as a wraparound across the ceiling and down the other wall. Powder coated metal shelving hangs from the ceiling to frame and define the area whilst adding some much needed storage. A stylish and practical solution that demonstrates the value of a bespoke design. Similarly, the custom made TV unit in the living area defines the space and creates a focal point.
