AB&C INSURANCE CELEBRATES 50 YEARS

As one of UK and Ireland’s premium kitchen design and manufacturing studios, Wrights Design House are masters of ‘the handmade kitchen.’ Designing and creating custom crafted kitchens built from the ground up, each kitchen is a unique collection of beautiful and functional furniture. Carefully considering each client brief, every kitchen project is meticulously planned and designed to reﬂect the style of its owners; from streamlined, handle-free contemporary furniture to classic Shaker handpainted cabinetry with dovetail drawer boxes and solid wood internals.

From earliest concept and consultation stage through to precision installation, the team at Wrights will guide you through your kitchen design process with the ﬁnest attention to detail. Initial drawings will help you visualise your design brief. Taking the design experience to another level, Wrights provide a state-of-the-art virtual reality experience where you get to immerse yourself in a VR version of your future kitchen design and layout via a headset! Wrights Design House is the only kitchen showroom in Northern Ireland providing this service. This allows you to walk around your future space to get a feel for positioning of cabinetry and the function and ﬂow of the space.

Every Wrights Design House kitchen is not only designed but crafted on site in their dedicated workshop. This truly bespoke service allows total freedom with your design, meaning no room shape or existing architectural detail will restrict or dictate your new kitchen scheme.

Des Ewing Residential Architects is an architectural practice based in Holywood, Co. Down. As a practice, they specialise in the procurement and design of bespoke homes. The practice is owned and run by Des Ewing, who is a chartered architect and a member of the RIBA. Des Ewing Residential Architects has been in practice now for over 20 years and has been responsible for in excess of 200 individual homes and numerous exclusive residential developments throughout the UK and Ireland.

They aim to constantly improve the detailing and customer service, to produce more reliable, tailored and beautiful homes in which clients love to live.

Their ethos as a practice is to make houses the best they can be and have clients who are very proud and happy to be living in them. It is not just about the design and a set of detailed drawings, but the opportunity to be able to make a real difference to people’s lives and help fulﬁl their dreams. Clients in the position to build their own home have likely worked hard for that opportunity and want to be able to trust their architect to advise, guide and listen to them; Des Ewing Architects provides such a service. They say, “We strive for perfection in every project, no matter what size. We listen to our clients, talk with them and take the time to create the look and ambience they aspire to. It is about reading the client; not necessarily what they say about a proposal, but often what they don’t say – a look or a pause that tells you they are not convinced. At that stage it is about taking the time to tease out what it is that they do or don’t like. This takes time, experience, skill and dedication. This level of commitment to our client provides them with the comfort to know nothing is compromised.”

Des Ewing Architects provides a full and dedicated service starting from outline proposals, design, planning permission, detailed design to site management and final completion of your project. Working from a head office in Holywood, Co. Down, and field office in Mayfair, London, offering high-end residential properties across the UK and Ireland.
