Appetite for architecture

Case study 2: The Social Kitchen, Enniskerry, Co Wicklow
A stylish kitchen can be the focal point
of a house, but how it works on a day-today basis is arguably
more important than how it looks.
In the case of this Enniskerry kitchen,
the owners purchased a 1990s bungalow, which they set about extending
and renovating – with an eye for how good design can make
day-to-day living more convenient.
‘‘The clients wanted to renovate
the building to more closely match modern ideas about living and
entertaining. They love to entertain and they love to cook, but
they also wanted to be able to talk to and socialise with their
friends as they cook,” says Gary Mongey of Dublin firm Box
Architecture.
