Home Tour
The client brief: driving through the Irish countryside, you suddenly happen upon an old home. That’s the feeling we want.
Most new builds don’t have a North Star like that. Many clients come with a Pinterest board and a wish list. This one came with a memory. And a memory, to me, is a better brief than any moodboard I’ve ever been handed.
This is the kind of project where everything must earn its way into the plan. Stone, plaster, paneling, wallpaper - there is very little drywall when you are crafting a new home that feels like an old home. The floating treads on the stairs were crafted from an old walnut tree on the property. We found so many antiques for this home, interweaving their stories into our client’s very personal one.
In the end, the devil is in the details.
