the window view is that this cuisine is all about and Healy designed the room to make it the focus.
"From the table in the window, and holding on to the island doing dishes in Belfast sink, you get amazing views of Blessington Lakes," said Healy. "We wanted the window seat the main feature. It also has a lot of pull storage underneath.”
Because this house is in the open on its own, there was a very cold atmosphere before. Customers were eager to create an airy, open space, but had heat and a warm ambience. This was achieved through the addition of a wood stove and flooring in dark wood.
"The client wanted rather than wood tiles, so we installed the flooring to give it the warmth she was after," says Healy. "It looks like solid walnut planks, but is actually designed walnut, which tends to be more affordable and sustainable."
