Extension, Dublin 7

We completed this house extension in Dublin in collaboration with Fishamble Architects.

This original ‘two-up – two-down’ quite typical of Dublin 7, required some consideration to establish a connection to the rear garden. The former rear kitchen extension was broken out to allow a re-proportioning of the space and new steps down to the rear allows for direct access and flow to the garden from all living spaces. A generous roof light over exposed rafters allows light and shade throughout the day.

An external planter box was constructed directly communicating with the window seat inside. The exterior is formed in white brick with blackened douglas fir cladding overhead and to the planter/bench. The same brickwork wraps to the interior forming the window seat.
