Just a few miles from the bustle and buzz of Dublin city centre and set on a wide tree-lined street is a 1950s house that has been revamped in a rather radical way. The credit goes to Róisín Lafferty, founder and creative director of Kingston Lafferty Design (KLD), who teamed up with John Monahan of Sligo-based Noji Architects to transform the trad three-bed into this spectacular five-bedroom family home, complete with jaw-dropping modernist extension. ‘We worked closely with John to merge his bold vision for the new, light-filled structure with our own creative interior approach,’ Róisín says.
Neither designer nor architect were lacking in ambition, that’s for sure. The interventions they made were numerous, but all were executed with the homeowners’ needs front and centre. ‘Collectively, we wanted to create an impressive and unique space that provides the owners with a delightful family environment, where all aspects have been considered to frame their lives,’ explains Róisín.
