Dormer Bungalow Renovation

Perched atop Howth head was the site of our latest renovation project; a dormer bungalow built in the 1950s in need of some updating and a little TLC.

Jackie Tracey Interiors was engaged to project manage the design and renovation of this quaint dormer bungalow. We redesigned the ground floor layout to create an open plan living space comprising kitchen, dining area, seating area, and connecting to the family snug/playroom through bespoke pocket doors. We also created a new family bathroom and redecorated the entire property to include new wall, window and floor treatments. Jackie Tracey Interiors also sourced and installed furniture and homewares to complement the scheme. Lark Rock Ltd. was the principal contractor on site.

The secret to an open plan design that’s both practical and beautiful is careful planning. On this project we worked extensively with our clients to plan out the various zones within the newly created open plan space, in terms of function, furniture placement, interconnectedness, and aesthetics. Every little nook and cranny was considered.
In terms of look and feel, we chose a colourful scheme befitting the character of both the homeowners and the property itself. Materials talk to each other, the palette creates a warm homely vibe, and there is a flow from room to room. When working on a property it is so important to respect the architecture and integrity of the building. This dormer bungalow was filled with natural timbers and quirky architectural features, so we went with a style that enhanced the character of the property. Pretty florals and warm tones create a modern yet homely feel, not too twee but with just the right amount of sophisticated rustic charm!
