26 Erne Street Upper, Dublin 2
This most attractive villa style period property was in need of complete updating and modernization. The brief was a sympathetic refurbishment maximizing the light in the living accommodation and to provide three bedrooms.
The two rooms at hall level were opened up to provide both the living room and kitchen / dining room. The garden level floor was dropped to provide greater ceiling height and combined with the wood paneled walls with feature up lighting provided an inviting space.
The roof of the rear return was raised and a feature pillar box window added to achieve the third bedroom.
A striking feature was the creation of a study in the rear return with Crittal style French doors opening to the rear patio with feature illuminated wall cladding.
