No Images? Click here Hi everyone, I hope all is well with you and your families. We started the year as a winner in the best of Houzz 2017 Ireland award in the Design Category. Two of our projects were included in the awards which was great news. Thank you again to our clients who allow us to photograph their homes and most especially allow us the opportunity to create! We are very appreciative of your support. Just a thought, now that we are all becoming more environmentally and energy aware; this quarterly newsletter is on the theme of working within the foot print of your home/work space! Often times people look to extend a property without really considering the existing space that is available to them. Of course if space is not an issue, an extension can completely transform a home. Enjoy our quarterly newsletter! Maria Interior by Maria Fenlon Interior Design Maximising your space.Many of our recent projects have been renovation projects within the footprint of the home/business. For one family, the priority was creating more space for storage, for a second it was opening the space to bring more light into the most used spaces in the home and another involved creating a large open plan Kitchen/Dining/Living with a view of the garden. The principal objective for one of our commercial projects was to focus on how to make the less used spaces in a large 20,000 sq ft showroom, more interesting to the customer.
#3 A recent renovation project.This is a recent project for a client who originally planned to add an extension to the back of their home, but instead, decided to focus on reorganizing the existing space. We worked in collaboration with architect Liam Mc Loughlin from Mc Loughlin Architecture. The objectives of the client were to create light filled interior spaces in a contemporary classic, homely style and in so doing maximise the use of available space. Please find below the before and after ground floor plans and photos of the project. Before images above.. So it’s an option, instead of just building on, you do the most with the space that you have. Remodelling within the exisitng footprint is environmentally beneficial requiring fewer materials, resulting in less waste and requiring less energy to heat and cool than building large additional spaces…and furthermore, when your family are starting to move on, as is the case for us, you will actually need less space! Finishing a space to a high quality finish is a satisfyling experience and results in spaces being used and enjoyed more. Let's keep in touch.
