7, 34 Ushers Quay was featured in The Irish Times. Although it has an address on the bustling quays, apartment number 7 is tucked away in the rear tower of the building overlooking the courtyard and is, therefore, surprisingly quiet. Courtney describes it as an “oasis in the city” and says it is so peaceful that it prompted his friend, influencer and food entrepreneur James Kavanagh, to complain that the birdsong rising from the courtyard was driving him mad.
On the top floor of the building, you enter number 7 into an entrance hall flooded with light with a Crittall-style double door – which Courtney had designed before he’d ever heard of the brand – providing a preview of the kitchen and living area at the end of the hall. Large cement-effect floor tiles are on display here and create a sleek and neutral canvas throughout the home.
The kitchen, dining and living area is bright with a sliding door of glazing across one wall, leading out to the decked L-shaped balcony that faces west – an ideal spot to toast a cocktail with friends. The open-plan space is home to a stylish L-shaped kitchen with white units and a cement-effect tiled splashback.
