AMY BUTLER’S ORIGINAL HOUSE
I got the inspiration for Amy’s
Penthouse Fashion Studio from
nature and also from her pattern
and fashion designs. I wanted to
create an inspirational environment
for her during the day, but also calm
and relaxing in the evening, so I
included some outdoor features
into the Penthouse Fashion Studio

The design of Amy’s penthouse is entirely based on a combination
of two styles: vintage (original stone walls and roman blinds made
from Amy’s fabrics) and contemporary (furnishings). I have also
placed few aspen tree trunks (see south elevation) into her living
space to make the feeling of ‘outdoors’ more realistic. Amy’s retail
shop will include a counter that is made up using the letters of her
name (storage), display shelves and units made in a shape of two
flowers and a consultation area with a table and two armchairs.

5. MUSEUM EXHIBIT AND RETAIL. AFGHANISTAN
Design of Exhibition space located Dundrum Town Centre, Dublin. The Museum will exhibit treasures of the
National Museum in Kabul that are travelling the world until the political situation in their homeland becomes
secure enough to allow them to return to their rightful place. These treasures will spend 2 years in Dundrum
Town centre where it is hoped their legacy will continue to educate and inspire people to know more about
their place of origin and in this possibly alter the future of the country and the region for the better.
Requirements for exhibition:
ceramics/pottery, sculpture
3-D, the burial exhibit,
jewellery, gold weaponry,
architectural artefacts,
miniatures/various sculptures.
Requirements for retail area:
space for t-shirts, books,
various souvenirs, magnets,
posters, CD’s DVD’s, blankets
and smaller textiles.
I took the inspiration for the Museum from photos I have seen based in Afghanistan. I have noticed that
people are trying to do anything to make their lives more happy and colourful no matter how hard and ‘grey’
everything looks. They inspired me and I have decided to introduce some strong colours into the space to
emphasise their attitude and to show a desire for better days.

Neon flexible lighting will be fitted behind slim and long glass panels at the bottom of the walls to direct viewers throughout the museum.
At the entrance the viewers will be greeted by staff at the counter and directed with
plans of the museum. They will pass information wall cabinets and walk through the
bridge (wheelchair accessible) to see the historical columns and sculpture section.
Sculptures will be placed in the water on top of revolving columns so the
360⁰ viewing is possible. Architectural artefacts will be placed behind
customised floor fountains. They will then enter the jewellery and
pottery section and the burial exhibit at the end. Coming
back they will also see the weaponry and miniatures on
display, and finally they will reach the souvenir
shop where they may purchase a keepsake.
The dark starlight ceiling represents hard times, but
is lit up by the bright and strong colours to show
that there is always a light at the end of the tunnel.

7. FLAGSHIP STORE & RESTAURANT. CLIENT: FASHION DESIGNER AMY LYNAM
Floor plansSpace planning
The task was to design a Flagship Store with a Restaurant for a fashion designer. I took my inspiration from her clothing collection – “Anthem” that is strongly connected with the music industry
and the streets of New York which she is truly inspired by. I wanted to create the space that would represent her style in fashion. I also wanted to bring her customers onto the streets of New York.

The main feature of the
store – the atrium
located at the centre of
the floor space
represents the
connection between
my client’s fashion and
music industry.
Poppy chair that I have
designed brings an
outdoor atmosphere
into the store, but also
comfort and a point of
interest for customers
using fitting rooms.
I have designed a special
space for my client at the
back of the store where
she can have private
meetings with VIP’s to
discuss the designs of
their clothing.

The restaurant / steak house will be called “Anthem” to emphasise the strong connection with the music industry. The
concept was to bring New York street elements into the steak house space. I have achieved that by placing lanterns,
balustrades, pedestrian sidewalk, triangle shaped atrium (famous new york corners) and brick slips throughout the space.
I have also placed two illuminated wall coverings with new york images. One will give the customers a feeling of sitting
right at Time Square and the other as if they were on top of the skyscraper looking at the New York sky line.

an over head position, like garage doors. There will be
a wide observation decking in front with a dining space and
a long bench for people to sit down and enjoy the marina
view with Amy Lynam’s representative yachts. The wooden
board across the deck will hold the steak house name
“anthem” on both sides. The sign will be fitted with white and
red fibre optic cables that will clearly underline the text.

Work: one wall has to be plastered, all walls
and ceiling have to be painted, floor fitted,
room has to be furnished and decorated
Additional requirements: reusing a single bed
already belonging to the family; possibility of
placing a study desk.
I have placed two wavy mirrors on the stripe
(dress-up/make-up space) and three shelves
(each in different colour) next to the wave for
little “bits and pieces”. The room became
really interesting by connecting waves with
straight lines. I have also made a collage
picture to match with the pillows on the bed
and to add some additional colours.
The white walls made the
room look visually more
spacious and inviting. I added
the desired colour (pink) by
painting a wide stripe on one
wall and a wave on the other.
Requirements:
Design style: contemporary
Colour preferences: blue, green, black, white
Work: two walls have to be plastered, all walls
and ceiling have to be painted, floor fitted,

Additional requirements: reusing a double bed
already belonging to the family; placing a

I have kept both rooms in the same
style as per family wish. The walls
were painted white to brighten up
the space. I have added the
required strong blue on the wall
above the bed, creating a great
background for black and white
‘New York skyline’ canvas – great
feature of the room.
To make the space more interesting I have added
few textures by hanging two types of curtains and
placing two types of rugs on the floor.

The living room has become really open and spacious by connecting
two rooms and therefore a lot more usable for the family. It includes an
entertainment/relaxing centre and a space in front of the fireplace that
is used as a play area but also as a great space for placing a dining table
with chairs during family events and holiday seasons.
The living room atmosphere is very calm and relaxing with the use of white, turquoise
and brown colours. The chosen furniture has a contemporary feel, with straight lines
and simple shapes but at the same time is very elegant and will serve the family for
many years to come. The selection of colours for the walls, floor and furniture is very
neutral and therefore the eventual change of accent colour will be very easy.

The major structural work was done by experienced builders who removed the wall connecting the
two previous sitting rooms. They have also placed a steel beam to support the upper floor of the
house. The hired electrician prepared the space for all required lighting and also fitted necessary
sockets. The living room now has a very calm and relaxing feel, and it is suitable for all family needs.
19. THE DORMER LOFT CONVERSION. EN-SUITE BEDROOM/OFFICE DESIGN. CLIENT: FRAN DODD
The family wants to add an additional bedroom to the house for their son, but also would like to use it
as a home office. Therefore, they have decided to convert the attic space (used for storage) into an en-
suite bedroom/office. The structural work will be done by an experienced building company and when
their construction work is done I will be given the finished overall space to work with.

FOR THE BEDROOM
Requirements:
Design style: after a consultation with my client we have agreed on a Retro style (back to 60’s - 70’s)
which their son really adores, with a modern and stylish bathroom
Colour preferences: trendy colours back in the 70’s were bright green, turquoise, sunshine yellow,
orange, red and brown. White was used everywhere – in furniture as well as for backgrounds to offset
brighter colours. The strong uses of black and white were often accented with a bright colour by use of
pillows, accent chairs and other fixtures.
Work: the bedroom walls and ceiling have to be painted, room has to be furnished and decorated,
bathroom has to be tiled and all modern fixtures have to be fitted
Additional requirements: the bedroom has to have a good size wardrobe, a single bed that the family
want to reuse and much needed office work space.

The bathroom is very stylish and
elegant with all modern fixtures
and tiles. The red floor mat
emphasises the retro style of the
entire space created at the attic.
The bedroom represents all key
features of the retro style by the
use of bold colours (red, sunny
yellow, black and brown), strong
textures and mixed furniture. All
the pieces of furniture and
elements for decoration were
carefully selected to represent
the desired style. The single bed
was lowered (to make it visually
appear as double seating) and
painted with a red gloss paint.
The use of a yellow chair strongly
symbolises retro style, as plastic
and curved shapes were used for
the first time in furnishings and
became very popular back in the
60’s. To make the overall look
complete I have placed a
checked rug (that I made out of
carpet samples) and a few
accessories such as a telephone
and a few vinyl record covers.
