    The old saying that the cobblers’ children go barefoot may ring true for certain professions, but it wouldn’t inspire confidence in architects and interior designers, if they took this approach with their own offices. The couple behind the LyonsKelly architecture and interiors practice could never be accused of neglecting their office space because they are too busy working for others. John Kelly and Eoin Lyons have created one of Dublin’s most beautiful office spaces in their own home, wh

    How do you create a luxurious contemporary family home that blends in with the wild and windswept nature of Achill Island?

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    Elizabeth McEvoy has lived her life in a world that’s not built for her. As a small person, shops, restaurants and public buildings were never designed with her stature in mind. So when she finally bought her own apartment, she was determined to create a space made for her.
