Series 8, Episode 7
Shirley Coleman and Alan Coleman, Dublin
Shirley Coleman and Alan Coleman have created a modern panoramic house in North Co. Dublin.
Shirley loves the contemporary and spacious interior of her family home and how the house echoes the modernist style, that of linking the indoor and the outdoor living spaces, she loves how it sits in the landscape with a view to the sea, enjoying panoramic views of both the sunrise and the evening setting sun.
Padraig and Gráinne Haughney, Kilkenny
Padraig and Gráinne Haughney live in this old shop conversion along with their three boys, in Kilkenny.
Built in the 1820’s as a commercial property, it had been lying vacant for over 50 years before they purchased the premises and, over a three-year period, transformed it into a family home. As the shopfront is listed, it remained, but was restored along with other original characteristics including the high sloping ceilings, beam and tie bars.
The family love the history of the property and how they have been able to turn it into a family home at the heart of the community.
Sinead Murphy, Cork
Sinead Murphy lives in a stylish city home with protected façade in Cork.
When Sinead viewed the home it was in need of a full renovation but she fell in love with it. The building has a protected façade so the work was completed from within with the help of her dad.
Sinead furnished the property with a mix of 70’s, Scandi and art deco furnishings inspired by her travels in New York. She loves how central and stylish her home is. It’s a place where she can people watch but also be away from the hustle and bustle of the city.
