The Window Seat
Lead Designer: Mike Harris
Location: Strandhill, Co. Sligo
Year: Installed 2025
The Brief:
To design and make a window seat with storage drawers and book shelves for an upstairs bedroom.
The Solution:
To maximise the incredible view, I chose a full 800mm deep frame, using 30mm birch ply, mitre jointed and beveled. When lounging in the window, you feel immersed in the landscape.
A blackout blind recess (garage) was incorporated to stow the blind during the day.
The deep drawers allowed for storage of bigger bulky items. The book shelves are recessed back to accentuate the view.
Access for power cable routing was subtly incorporated into the design.
