About Us

Ireland's #1 Residential Spatial Designer | Flexible & Adaptable Homes

I reconfigure the existing space of entire houses to save you building an unnecessary extension. A huge part of this is prioritising where and what to focus your budget on, to ensure your money is spent wisely. Why Extend When You Can Amend!™ The problem is many architects and design & build firms over prescribe designs because they make big money telling homeowners they need to extend to achieve the home they want, but in many cases reconfiguring your existing space is all that is required to do achieve the home you need. Why me? While most architects and designers look to build you a new space at a greater expense, I look to reconfigure the existing space of your entire home to work smarter for you, using smart design because a clever re use of space saves you hundreds of thousands and still gives you the home what you need. You don't always need to built space. What my clients say: ''We approached Eleanor in Cobelis with feelings of frustration, annoyance and becoming over whelmed with our design process, in the hope we would receive new found direction. The background of our story is we have an old cottage where we approached an architect, which designed a fabulous design but was out of budget. We felt we were not listened to, it got us excited but it wasn’t possible and also the design wasn’t suited to our site, which was hard to get our head around. In a moment of despair we found Cobelis, Eleanor just got us, and came back to us with what I could only call the lightbulb moment. Our design finally made sense, a smaller footprint that was more manageable saving us thousands.'' Do you want your home to work better for you?

We knew we wanted to change the layout of our house. We have a lot of space but are not using it to its maximum potential and kept going around in circles about the best way to improve our living space. We weren't sure whether we were better off speaking to an architect, an interior designer, or simply a builder. We were daunted by the whole process and really didn't know where to start. We had engaged with an architect previously but weren't blown away with the ideas they came up with. We needed ideas and guidance that took all of our needs into consideration - space, budget, family dynamic, what we wanted to use each space for etc . We came across the Cobelis website and what Eleanor offered ticked all of the boxes of what we were looking for. From our first meeting, Eleanor clearly laid out the service she provides, the steps involved, the input she needed from us and what she would provide us with. That in itself eased some of the stress we were feeling. Eleanor asked things that we hadn't even considered could impact on our decisions, taking into consideration what we want for ourselves, for the children, the flow of traffic through the house, how the changes we make now would suit our lives in the future. Her approach of providing plans that wouldn't work is a brilliant way to eliminate the "what if" feeling and confirm that the final plan is the one we definitely want. And the 3D imagery brought it all to life in a way we didn't expect and provided a visual of what could be which was amazing. Eleanor also provides the option to revisit the plans one more time to make any changes which is essential as it is good to have time to reflect on them and make sure it's exactly what we want. We are now in the process of receiving quotes from builders (who were very impressed by the plans Eleanor provided) and we can't wait to start making Eleanor's plans our reality.’

I found myself facing into the daunting prospect of my ground floor apartment being internally demolished as part of remediation for pyrite. These works would have seen my apartment being rebuilt exactly as it was but a friend suggested I take the opportunity to look at the design and how I used the space. There is only so much I would be able to do to redesign an apartment, or so I thought. Eleanor’s core message of making the most of an existing space resonated with me and my situation, and from our first conversation I felt reassured and supported. My lifestyle, habits, preferences, and aspirations were considered throughout the process and Eleanor’s designs and suggestions made me notice things about myself which I had never paid attention to before. This has culminated in a space which feels more like home than it ever did before and I couldn’t be happier with the result.

While we loved our house we knew it could be better, the house just wasn’t working for us. We had plenty of space, but it wasn’t being well utilised. A small dark kitchen at the back with barely enough space for two people in it and a sunroom that altered between freezing cold in the winter and sweltering hot in the summer. We knew there was a huge amount of potential in the house, but we couldn’t see a way to make it work for us. We weren’t sure whether we could get what we needed from the house, or whether we should start looking for something bigger. We had spoken to an architect previously, but the project cost which we had gotten back was a multiple of our budget and while it gave more space, it still left us with questions, but we could see that we didn’t need an additional 40msq of space to the house. Our problem wasn’t really about how much area there was in the house, it was that it wasn’t been used in a way that met our needs. We had heard from a friend of what service Eleanor provided, and the idea of getting more from what we had appealed to us. After looking at her website and the initial chat we were really excited about the possibilities. Eleanor was very engaging from the start of the process. She seemed excited by the opportunities that the redevelopment represented, which in turn filled us with optimism of what we could get from the project. Eleanor teased out the details of exactly what we really needed from the house, offering insight and guidance as to what could and couldn't work, to designing (and redesigning) the plans to achieve the design we needed. We are super happy with the result of the project, and nearly three years of living with the new design we feel it really gives us what we need. Before our redesign we were unsure whether we should stay in the house, now we are definitely at home here, for many years to come! We absolutely love the house since the refurbishment, and we couldn't have achieved it without Eleanor.

After being through a number of consultations with various companies, we were still unsatisfied with the solutions being proposed. However, after our consultations with Eleanor and going through the process with her, we have a much clearer understanding of what our needs actually are and what solutions make sense. Eleanor ensured that we really thought about what we wanted and why, and her proposals really make us feel confident that the design is right for us now and into the future as our family grows.

We really liked Eleanor and her ideas. Well worth getting an outside perspective and very helpful if you want to remodel the space you already have. We have yet to start the works but we are excited for our future project. Recommended

Really liked Eleanor and her ideas. Well worth getting an outside perspective and very helpful if you want to remodel the space you already have. I didn't implement everything and she gets that, it can take time to consider the concept and options offered. Recommended

We engaged Eleanor following the purchase of our new home. The original house had been heavily extended but the layout did not suit our family needs. Eleanor took the time to understand our requirements and designed a plan which far exceeded our expectations. Work is well underway and the clarity of her design has ensured there were no unexpected bumps in the road. Would highly recommend for anyone who needs to rework their home to maximise its potential. Thanks a mil. Laura

Really enjoyed working with Eleanor in getting our design together over the past 6 weeks. At the beginning we knew we wanted to improve our apartment but didn't know what or where to start ! Following Eleanor's process helped us to uncover what is most important to us as a small family, how best to maximise space and we arrived at the best design for us. The design looks fantastic and I can't wait to see what this looks like in reality as it gets built over the next few months.

I would highly recommend Eleanor from the first phone call to the final design she was friendly, listened to what we wanted and what space we were working with as well as coming to us with some super ideas. I had an idea in my mind what I wanted however Eleanor's insight and experience meant she brought fantastic innovative ideas to the table which was super. Giver her a shout if you are looking for some design ideas for your kitchen/living space we are so glad we did.

Eleanor and Cobelis provided us with a complete end to end service. We were not sure whether to extend or just knock walls. Eleanor provided plans for both which helped us makes decisions. We also, at a late stage asked Eleanor to come up with a different plan for the extension which she completely understood and accommodated. Eleanor and Cobelis even provided designer accommodation for the 2 dogs. A great experience all round Trish & Derek ( Bray)

Absolutely stunning work done by Eleanor! We were unable to have a clear vision of the kitchen renovation project we started several months ago. First, she collected all elements from our ''wish list'', used our ideas as a starting point & then she created a design which was better than expected. We were extremely comfortable working with Eleanor & will definitively recommend her to home owners who are looking to get their renovation projects done.

Where to start, from our first chat with Eleanor right up to presentation day we could not have asked for more. Professional, friendly, knowledgeable and forthcoming with ideas and suggestions. Eleanor took our ideas and was in a position to show us a visual of what we could achieve. We would have no hesitation in recommending Cobelis for any of your design/redesign needs.

Living in a 2 bedroom apartment with 3 children is not easy. We were living in the middle of a mess every day and evening, the living area was closing in on us and it was getting me down. Eleanor from @cobelis.ie came to our rescue and all it took was one consultation and there was light, we took her advice and we have never looked back, it's amazing how the little things can make a big difference. Thank you Eleanor @cobelis.ie, you are AMAZING and your service is top quality, we'd highly recommend you and can't wait until we meet again!

Cobelis is to highly recommended, they were efficient, delightful to deal with, and helped me enormously with a project I was entering on and did not have a lot of information about. They were professionable in their approach to the project, met the deadlines and advised well on budgetary matters. I would recommend them.

We had decided to build an indoor-outdoor kitchen and socialising room, but we were struggling to get a good layout and flow for the space. Eleanor was able to look at the space with fresh eyes. She listened carefully to our requirements and was then able to guide us towards a practical and workable solution. We are about to start the build, and I am confident that the space is going to function well for our family. Without Eleanor’s help and outside perspective, I think we would never have moved out of the planning stage. Eleanor has a gift for looking at spaces and seeing all of the possibilities. She can then help you to visualise how the space will look so that you can be confident in your decisions. I wholeheartedly recommend Eleanor.

Eleanor did a fantastic job of designing our new kitchen. She devised a clever and functional design that made full use of the space available and radically improved the flow of the room, whilst still meeting our storage needs. We are delighted with the kitchen and couldn’t be happier with how well it works. Eleanor was professional, efficient and helpful throughout the process and we would absolutely recommend her.
