Master Bedroom
Set in the heart of Dublin 4, The Wellington honours the heritage of the home and site.
The design blends contemporary details within partial conservation architecture. The house is home to an old Dublin Coach House - which was protected by conservation architecture. Original sash windows and a stone wall built in a traditional method were elements included as part of this conservation process. introducing the coral paint finish to the sash window frames walks the tightrope of modernity and heritage.
This coral colour is used throughout the house on all window frames and doors as well as the stone for the kitchen island and a double height wall in the extremely unique interior courtyard - bringing a sense of warmth to the home.
A corten steel structural sculpture sits at the entrance to this house creating a grand entrance to this grand home. The door was another aspect of the conservation architecture that had to remain and was a dichotomy to the grandeur of the home and design.
A monochromatic bathroom with a mirror obelisk that disappears almost as soon as you notice it makes for a surreal and unexpected element.
Mirror finishes on all interior window pockets provide a sense of scale and generous proportions to the spaces.
Specialist wall finishes, materiality and play on scale and depth make this a harmonious and luxurious home.
This project received an Honorable Mention at the Architecture Masterprize 2024.
