Full kitchen renovation for Adam and Magda's kitchen at Shackleton House in Clonee. A contemporary finish, designed around their brief, and built to a high standard throughout.
Materials used
Adam and Magda were renovating their kitchen at Shackleton House in Archerswood, Clonee, and wanted a contemporary result that reflected their own ideas while benefiting from professional design input. They came with a clear sense of direction but were open to guidance — the brief was collaborative from the start, and they wanted someone who would engage with their ideas rather than push a standard solution.

Adam and Magda came with reference images and a strong sense of what they liked. Rather than simply validating their choices, Tony worked with them to pressure-test each decision — asking how a detail would look in six months, whether a material would age well, and where a small change in layout could improve the room significantly. The final design was better than either party would have arrived at alone.
The quality of a fitted kitchen is mostly invisible to a casual observer — it lives in the alignment of the doors, the consistency of the reveals, the firmness of the drawer runners, the neatness of the end panels. Every cabinet in this project was installed to the same standard, whether it was in the middle of the main run or tucked behind a corner unit.
Renovation projects go smoothly when communication is clear. Adam and Magda were kept up to date on every milestone — delivery dates, phase starts, and anything that required a decision from them. No surprises, no gaps in communication, no stress.
A kitchen Adam and Magda are delighted with — contemporary in finish, thoughtfully designed, and built to last. The process was smooth and stress-free, and the quality of the end result is exactly what they had in mind when the project started.
“Tony did a fantastic job on our kitchen renovation. From the initial design phase to the final installation, he was professional, attentive, and skilled. He listened to our ideas and provided valuable input that really enhanced the final design. The quality of the workmanship was excellent, and he paid great attention to detail throughout the project. Tony was also very reliable, always showing up on time and keeping us informed about the progress. He made the whole process smooth and stress-free. We couldn't be happier with the end result and would highly recommend Tony to anyone looking for a top-notch kitchen renovation.”
