Set in this picturesque Irish seaside village of Greystones you feel as if you are in a remote unspoiled town but it reality you are about 45mins south of hustle and bustle of down town Dublin. This unique village is very quaint and is the location of Ivy Cottage. The Architecture designed by Arc Design respected the characteristic and details of the local architectural style. The house is set in land about one block from the sea, in order to profit from the sea views and light they made a daring decision and flipped the function of the house and placing most of the living spaces up stairs and the sedated spaces down stairs.  This was a complete success. The interior design for the upper level is open and airy with a modern seaside cottage feel. Everything in the upstairs is meant have a bright summery feel open to the outdoors.  The lower levels are warm, calm, relaxed with all the rooms colors designed a bit softer and more natural. The beauty of Ivy Cottage is how the interior and exterior reacts intimately with its environment.

This extraordinary landmark building located in the heart of Liverpool , England is the site for this boutique hotel of glamour and luxury. The Royal Insurance Building has a listed exterior and interior constructed at the turn of the last century in a classical architectural style. Throughout the project the concept was to treat the building as an ornate jewelry box displaying its precious jewels inside. There was total respect for the building which was reflected in the approach to the design of interior. Always complementing and highlighting the grand architectural details the design merged modern and traditional furnishings and structures to create a space in side of a space. The result celebrates the glamour and style of yesterday and complements it with the sleek and modern designs of today.
