What they say
Also in Wallpaper*.
The Dublin-based studio worked hard to demarcate distinct living zones in a futuristic mix of acrylic and Perspex, modular furniture and oversized globe lamps.
Right in the middle
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
The English Market's food stalls and the 17th-century Triskel Arts Centre are both a short walk away.
The rooms
High-ceilinged en-suite rooms pair muted grey tones with graphic geometric rugs and modern prints.
The gym
Cardio machines and strength training equipment fill the Slim Gym beneath exposed metal ductwork and circular ceiling lights.
How it began

Built around a vision. Even the door handles have a designer.

Cared for at every turn. The bath is drawn before you ask.

Where the city goes out. The bar is full and the night is young.

The city grew up with it. Same rituals, same regulars, same bar.

A world of its own. Something to do from breakfast to nightcap.
