Giles and Catherine , together with Ventura Design , and Cork-based conservation specialists , have brought an old Georgian townhouse into the 21st century ,
This pared-back palette let all the exquisite photography on display really pop . This is the antidote to clichéd coastal interiors . Rooms feel slick , mature – and as multifaceted as the ocean itself .
Bespoke furniture using velvets , linens and weaves in blue , grey , silver and orange softened the look , adding texture and colour .
The former merchant ’ s house , one of the oldest in the Cork harbour town of Kinsale , had been the client ’ s home , workspace and gallery for more than 30 years . But with the upstairs darkroom gone and their children ready to fly the nest , Giles and his wife Catherine could think of no obvious use for the two floors of rooms and giant attic space above the landmark gallery .
Giles and Catherine , together with
Ventura Design , and Cork-based conservation specialists , have brought an old Georgian townhouse into the 21st century , retaining as much of the original character and features as had survived but giving the rooms a warm , contemporary look and feel .
