Arnotts Window Display Arnotts & Crown Paints Homeware Installation

Arnotts & Crown Paints collaborated with 16 Final Year students of DIT to create five vignettes for the Arnotts Henry Street windows. The kitchen vignette was created by myself and two others using a Crown Paints palette called "Playtime" and selected furniture and homeware items available in-store. Our design married a contemporary and retro aesthetic to achieve a quirky, exciting space to showcase Arnotts and Crown products for the home.

Design for Gusto Barcelona

 Design for a Retail outlet on Dublin's Grafton Street of Spanish Brand Gusto Barcelona, with three brand variations each interpreting a different ambience - from 'Space Age', and 'Purple Haze' to 'Lighting Strike' - the variation in ambience created primarily by lighting, texture and graphics. The strong geometric lines of the merchandising modules are complimented by the wall and ceiling paneling and overall I think this a space with zones that will excite and interest the buying public.

The Vestry Restaurant - Redesign of Listed Church

A Listed Methodist Church in Dun Laoghaire, Dublin remodelled as a restaurant with additional first floor free-standing installation. The first floor is accessed by lift and stairs positioned either side of the central aisle. The first floor rests on structural corian-coated steel plinths, the design of which is abstracted from the neo-gothic windows.

Free-Standing first floor Installation

The Corian structural plinths are neon lit to add interest knit the design of other lighting elements together 

On the first floor mezzanine the bespoke furnishings derive their forms from the curving arches and windows while the chosen colours provide a bright warm contrast to the predominantly white render of the building.

The wall hangings add interest on both floors, the modern motifs adding a hint of edginess to the two spaces.
