Meanwhile, Newsweek’s ambitious blue sky thinking on the same subject:

‘Inhaus’ at the De Blacam and Meagher-designed residence at Portobello Wharf by the Grand Canal.

This architectural intervention is a part of a series of life scale interior drawings by artist Oisin Byrne.

The piece depicts a maximalist and lush gothic interior in minimalist black ink line drawing.
