Seven years after receiving the keys to his Dublin home, this homeowner, with his keen eye for style, knew precisely what he wanted to do to make the 3,800-square-foot French contemporary space better reflect his personality and lifestyle.
“I’m a bachelor. I collect antiques and art,” he says. “I wanted to enrich the home’s feel and create a more timeless and appropriate backdrop.”
When it came time to hire a contractor, the homeowner contacted the renovation team at Highland-Palermo Ltd., a sister company to Landfare Ltd., which is a Columbus-based custom landscape design and build firm.
Once the extensive remodeling work was complete, the homeowner called upon Sean Moseley, who stepped in to assist with the interior design aspect. Moseley has known his client for quite some time and knows well the direction he wanted to take the space.
“He is an extremely passionate client and I think that comes through in every aspect of his home,” Moseley says. “He has a passionate attention to detail.”
Moseley’s task was to incorporate pieces from the homeowner’s vast wealth of resources —in the form of great pieces of furniture, both vintage and new, fabulous works of art and colorful accessories. “I assisted with the curation of the collections that the homeowner has amassed over the years,” he says.
The designer pulled from the existing pieces, added to them and arranged them in a fashion that works for this man’s lifestyle. “He is a gentleman living alone, so we wanted to create a space that is warm and masculine without being heavy.”
Prepared to put his newly updated home to the test, the homeowner is currently making plans to repay all of those dinner invitations from friends and family during the construction process. And no doubt, just like his home’s renovation, the parties will be planned with careful attention to detail.
