Apartment Bachelor’s Walk, Dublin

A two-bedroom apartment in one of the first apartment complexes by Zoe Developments is gutted in order to provide a studio apartment of quality on a very limited budget yet appropriate to its setting on the Liffey Quays.

Substandard partitions, services and finishes are stripped out to bring the apartment back to its bare shell.

A grand room of dual aspect overlooking The Ha’penny Bridge is revealed. On light rubber flooring a new kitchen, shower-room, bed platform and a number of storage/shelving units are added. Steel construction brackets at the junction of external walls and the ceiling slab are exposed at the edges in the manner of a Georgian cornice detail. A high gloss red ceiling reflects the southerly light of the Liffey River by day while radiating a warm glow within the apartment as well as to passers-by outside by night.
