IT'S a bedroom fit for a king ... or for a pint-sized rock star.
Bono has unveiled plans for a new master bedroom that is as big as an average semi-detached home.
The 130sqm boudoir is complete with his and hers en suites, matching walk-in wardrobes, an adjoining study and a balcony with views of Dublin Bay.
The U2 frontman has applied for the massive bedroom for the palatial Killiney home he shares with wife Ali and their five children.
Wardrobes
The couple have applied to Dun Laoghaire/Rathdown Co Council to add a new second floor to include an en suite master bedroom and his and her wardrobes.
They also want to add a lower ground floor conservatory to their house, Temple Hill, on Vico Road.
The proposed conservatory will be accessed through the kitchen and living room.
Bono, who has applied to the council using his real name, Paul Hewson, is seeking to have a terrace at second-floor level around the full perimeter of the house.
If permission is granted, the changes will make the most of the U2 singer's amazing sea views.
Designed by Colin Jennings Architect, the plans show that the terrace will be accessed through a new en suite master bedroom as well as an adjoining en suite study.
Posted on the council's website, the drawings reveal that the superstar is making provision for considerable wardrobe space.
The new second floor is to take the place of the existing pitched roof.
A decision by the council is due at the end of next month.
The application comes only months after Bono and Ali were granted permission for a small performance studio in the grounds of their home.
As part of the same application, they were also given permission to build a gardener's shelter, containing changing facilities, a small kitchen area and a bathroom.
Plans
Liam Brophy of CMB Design Group submitted these plans.
Mr Brophy stated in the letter of application: "The proposed locations of the two temporary structures are specifically designed to minimise their impact on both the subject site, as well as existing vistas to and from the site.
"The structure to be used for recreational purposes is located within a stand of existing trees on the site and is outside the scope of the primary views afforded to the main house in its current location.
"These trees were planted by the owners 15 to 20 years ago. In order to facilitate the new temporary structure, a number of trees will be required to be removed.
"However, only the less mature trees in this location will be removed with the majority of existing trees retained, allowing the structure to be shielded by these trees in this location.
"Every effort has been made to minimise the impact these structures will have on the existing house as well as on the site in general."
