Dublin Stately Home Lounge

The Dublin Stately Home Lounge shows how an expansive, double-height space can be artfully designed to create a warm, inviting atmosphere. Carrying the same black slatted ash cabinetry from the kitchen, the room features a dramatic media wall that cleverly integrates technology behind the custom woodwork. A unique structural glass panel set within the terrazzo floor reveals a spiral wine cellar, adding an unexpected touch of drama, while low-slung furniture and high-end audio perfectly balance grandeur with intimacy for modern family life.

The Brief

Rooms with high ceilings can be tricky to furnish. The brief was to prevent this expansive, double-height space from feeling empty, while beautifully connecting it to the architectural style of the rest of the home. We needed a design statement that could comfortably handle the grand scale of the roof apex while maintaining a warm, residential feel.

The Structure

To create that connection, we carried the black slatted ash cabinetry from the kitchen through to the lounge, cladding the entire double-height media wall. It draws the eye right up to the ceiling, transforming a standard TV wall into a dramatic architectural feature that anchors and holds the whole room together.

The Details

The custom slatted wall does an incredible job of integrating technology, allowing wires and media units to disappear entirely behind the wood. But look down at the cool terrazzo floor and you’ll find a structural glass panel looking straight into a spiral wine cellar—a brilliant, unexpected feature that adds a touch of drama to the room.
