UNDER ONE ROOF

A cozy study space with black shelves containing black storage boxes, books, and decorative items like a ceramic egg and a small sculpture. A wooden chair and a desk with a notebook, pen, and a ceramic mug are in the foreground. A curtain and soft lighting add to the warm ambiance.

FADA is a multifaceted design studio. It is an open, empathetic environment in which conversation can thrive and flourish. Where concepts are nurtured, contorted and tested before they take on their final form. FADA is considered in its approach, producing work that instils an appreciation for craft and precedent.

FADA comes from the Irish language. It’s an acronym for ‘faoi ​​aon díon amháin’ meaning ‘under one roof.’ In this space, under one roof, we thrive on the cross-pollination of ideas, people and place. In this dwelling, together, we create a meaningful assemblage of timeless spaces, furniture, objects and forms.
