The traditional Irish style kitchen is reimagined, drawing on visual harmony and capitalizing on natural light—made possible by the beautiful detailing and elegant symmetry.
Painted in a silky heritage white, the beaded in-frame cabinetry is designed with classic shaker doors and finished with chrome exposed butt hinges and knobs. Thoughtfully hidden storage, including a bi-fold breakfast station, keeps surfaces clear while supporting daily life with ease and elegance. Cabinets and units have been arranged in a pleasing symmetrical layout, with mirrored glazed uppers cut into geometrically interest shapes for architectural interest.
However, the room moves away from sharp angles, embracing a more fluid, comforting form. The edges of cabinets, worktops, plinths, cornices, tongue-and-groove panelling and the sweeping oak breakfast bar have all been curved or rounded. In combination with an abundance of natural light through the oak-framed windows, the result is a space that feels bright, breathable, and gently layered.
In the interplay of geometric balance and softened form—where symmetry meets an airy palette and curved detailing further softens natural light—this kitchen becomes more than functional design. It is a space both masterfully crafted and deliberately orchestrated, with all the quiet majesty of a Elgar symphony.

Created for a charming 18th century stone farmhouse overlooking a canal, this Bespoke solid wood kitchen has been handpainted in Farrow & Ball (Aga wall and base units by the windows) with Pavilion Gray (on island and recessed glass-fronted display cabinetry). The design centres around a feature Aga range cooker.

For this brief I worked closely with my client to choose a rich yet soothing green colour that would transform the previously white kitchen in her new home. Photography by Steve Turner.

A quietly elegant and ultimately fashionable colour scheme with fresh aqua accents for this lovely modern kitchen extension in Lee. German kitchen furniture from Ballerina-Küchen coupled with Compac Moon Quartz worksurfaces and a backpainted glass splashback work well with the warm wooden floor. The addition of a peninsular kitchen island creates a sociable seating area in the space.

Contemporary kitchen in Foxrock, Dublin with doors and fronts in glossy dark grey lacquer. Worktops in white quartz. Aluminium handles, plinths and corner storage tambour unit.

The brief for this project involved a full house renovation, and extension to reconfigure the ground floor layout. To maximise the untapped potential and make the most out of the existing space for a busy family home.
When we spoke with the homeowner about their project, it was clear that for them, this wasn’t just about a renovation or extension. It was about creating a home that really worked for them and their lifestyle. We built in plenty of storage, a large dining area so they could entertain family and friends easily. And instead of treating each space as a box with no connections between them, we designed a space to create a seamless flow throughout.
A complete refurbishment and interior design project, for this bold and brave colourful client. The kitchen was designed and all finishes were specified to create a warm modern take on a classic kitchen. Layered lighting was used in all the rooms to create a moody atmosphere. We designed fitted seating in the dining area and bespoke joinery to complete the look. We created a light filled dining space extension full of personality, with black glazing to connect to the garden and outdoor living.
