Tralee family property The Studio is a work of craft

A design-conscious couple created a ‘home of two halves’, writes Tommy Barker.

AN interior designer and a quantity surveyor set to work to build this striking Co Kerry home called The Studio, and they did it in two tranches, starting in 2002, and making allowances for a soon-to-follow extension.

An architect (a brother) gave the plans the once-over, and the finished result is a bit of a design triumph, with separate shaped wings joined by a two-level glass corridor — not bad by half.
