C·Top Design presents Joanne Kelly — @thinkcontemporary , Creative Director of Think Contemporary, a Dublin-based interior design and architecture studio known for creating spaces that are deeply personal, functional, and timeless.
Founded in 2010 alongside Managing Director Anthony Buggy, Think Contemporary has grown into one of Ireland's most sought-after design studios, working across both residential and commercial projects. With a background in Interior Architecture from DIT and a design philosophy rooted in creativity and collaboration, Joanne draws inspiration from travel, culture, and everyday experience to craft interiors that truly reflect the people who live and work in them.
In this beautifully resolved kitchen, Dekton Aura was specified for both the countertops and splashback, its sculptural marble-effect surface lending a calm, considered elegance to the scheme. Paired with warm taupe cabinetry, rich timber accents, and striking statement lighting, the result is an interior that feels as inviting as it looks. Dekton Lunar, with its refined concrete texture, also features as wall cladding in the living area, bringing the same quiet confidence to a different space entirely.
"When a material works beautifully and performs brilliantly, it makes every design decision easier. That's exactly what Dekton delivers — and why it's become a go-to for us at Think Contemporary." — Joanne Kelly

We’re taking you inside the restaurant space at Hyde.
A setting defined by atmosphere, materiality, and detail, where warm lighting, refined finishes, and carefully considered proportions come together to create a layered dining experience. Every element was designed to support comfort, flow, and a sense of understated luxury✨

Our work was driven by a clear design process, from early concept development through to detailed material and lighting decisions.
We began by defining the overall atmosphere, then shaped the spatial layout to support flow, functionality, and experience. From there, materiality and lighting were carefully layered to build depth, warmth, and identity throughout the space✨
For us, it’s always about consistency in process, ensuring every detail contributes to a cohesive and considered result.

A closer look at some of our favourite details from Hyde✨
From carefully considered material transitions to subtle lighting moments and refined finishes, each element plays a role in shaping the atmosphere of the space. It’s often these smaller, quieter design decisions that bring depth, warmth, and identity to the overall experience🥰

Hyde Restaurant & Bar
The roof terrace concept focuses on creating a strong street presence that feels inviting, atmospheric, and distinctive within its urban context.
Through a refined material approach, subtle lighting strategy, and considered detailing, we aimed to shape an interior that captures attention while hinting at the experience within. The result is a façade that feels elegant, warm, and full of character🥰
A space designed to draw people in from the street and set the tone for what lies inside✨

Renovation is often seen as a simple visual upgrade, but it goes far beyond aesthetics. It requires planning, coordination, and clear direction from the very beginning✨
At our practice, we focus on understanding each space first, how it functions and how it should feel , so every decision supports a cohesive and well-executed result.
A successful renovation is not just about how it looks, but how it’s thoughtfully delivered.

A workspace designed as a natural extension of the main living space, rather than a closed-off room. At Merrion Residence, the home office flows seamlessly within the home, maintaining openness while still offering focus and functionality✨
Deeper timber tones and tan leather introduce a subtle masculine character, while warm lighting and soft composition keep the atmosphere calm and inviting. The result is a balanced workspace that feels both grounded and refined🥰
