The Dublin property, formerly owned by the late Shane McGowan has been transformed by Cooling Design into a functional family home.
This redbrick interwar home in Sandymount may have once housed a famous resident in Shane McGowan, but its current owners, a young family, had decided to extend to create a larger kitchen, living and dining space.
“I love working on the interior architecture of a project,” Emma says, “and so jumped at the challenge. We redesigned the ground floor, opening up the extension, with kitchen, dining and living space, into one large room. The WC was relocated behind the kitchen and designed to back onto a new utility. This left space on the opposite side of the hall to have both a storage area and a cloakroom under the stairs. We also redesigned the en suite interior layout to accommodate ample storage.
“Newcastle Design beautifully brought the kitchen from conception to reality. We showed them the style of bespoke kitchen door front that we wanted, and it was no problem to manufacture it, which is the beauty of working with a bespoke kitchen company.” Emma explains. Throughout the house, Emma introduced a deep, rich colour palette. Kigali by Paint and Paper was used for the banquette seating and shelving, while the kitchen units are Harley Green by Little Greene. A dark herringbone timber floor runs through the hall, lounge and open plan space, while bold geometric tiles make a statement in the kitchen.
