The sequenced internal layout optimises space and light and the use of porcelain tiling throughout the ground floor; gently warmed by underfloor heating, ensures a nice flow through the living areas.

Full height doors and a glazed wall that flanks the timber staircase; leading to a wall of light, all add to a sense of drama downstairs. Upstairs too, a floating ceiling and integrated lighting, hand built high gloss storage solutions are design details that give a distinctive feel to these contemporary homes.

Interior Detailing

Interior specialists Architecture Collective were charged with finding the perfect design solution for contemporary country living. The result is an immaculate design scheme that is stylish, relaxed and undisputedly smart. They have used native Irish woven fabrics and linens and sourced some interesting Irish design pieces including stunning oak furniture from West-Cork furniture producer O'Donnell Furniture Makers.

Ultimate design classics such as the Eames chair in the living room and the SMEG fridge lend a sophisticated edge. Jane O’Malley’s wonderful artwork, the great colours of handcrafted Ceadogán wool rugs and decorative detail that includes contemporary design pieces from Waterford Crystal and ceramics by local artists reflect a dedication to aesthetics.

Calm Oasis

The bedroom decoration was conceived to create a calm oasis of timeless comfort. The simplicity of the look adds a certain poise and elegance to the design and the colour palette of soft tonal browns add warmth to the feel. Features such as the recessed leather headboard in the master bedroom and the glossy lacquered wardrobes give a decidedly glamorous edge.

The oak Scavolini kitchen, with wall mounted glazed units make the kitchen decidedly smart as well as being functional; with the thoughtful addition of items such as the SMEG fridge, Miele coffee machine and stainless steel Neff built-in appliances.

Country Living

A very generous patio leads directly from the living area and feels like a natural extension of the house into the outdoors. It provides an intimate garden space; enhanced by mature planting that reflects the style of planting found all over the island; integrating the house comfortably into its exceptional setting and nicely screening it from view, making this the perfect spot for outdoor dining and relaxation.
